Little Blue Car Series
Meet Dotty - the little blue car with a very big world to explore.
The Little Blue Car is an original children’s story concept inspired by family adventures, distinctive locations and the idea that even the smallest character can find herself at the centre of something extraordinary.

William's Wild World
Created from William Orchard’s genuine fascination with wildlife, rockpools and coastal discovery, Secrets of the Seashore explores the natural world through the curiosity of a young adventurer.
Inspired by real family experiences in Lyme Regis, Beer, Seaton and Spain, it encourages children to look more closely at the wildlife waiting to be discovered along our coastlines.
