Eve's New Brother

The story

Eve's New Brother deals with the familiar-to-many story of a child meeting their new sibling. This story explores the emotions of Eve as she tries to accept this new small person and the difficulties she faces. The story is nestled among the tangible closeness Eve shares with her mothers. Her parents listen to her fears and encourage her to work around them, be patient and find a way to accept Stanley.

LGBT parents

Eve's parents are two women. The whole idea behind us setting up Parakeet Books was to create inclusive books featuring diverse characters with all genders, ethnicities, and abilities represented. That includes different kinds of families too. The stories are not about the fact that the characters are 'unique' in anyway, but are standard kids adventures that just so happen to feature diverse families.

Scout's Bedtime

The story

We are also launching Scout's Bedtime. Join Scout while they get ready for bed with dad. Scout is impossibly cheeky and runs off at every opportunity. We then get to see Scout's amazing imagination while they play elaborate games with Flamingo and Jerry.

Scout is a mixture of both our kids and for that reason we thought - why not make Scout gender neutral? The reader can decide what gender to assign to this totally cute kid. Scout's Bedtime is available as an add on reward or can be bought directly from parakeetbooks.com from November.
