the adventure friend series

six friends, six stories

Every BabyLUV friend has a picture book. Same structure every time: a safe home, a gentle quest, a helpful guide, and a loving return. Never dark, never frightening. All six are on Kindle.

the free picture book

Every BabyLUV box carries a QR code. Scan it and we send a free picture ebook where all six friends come together for one gentle adventure: Duck, Elephant, Monkey, Unicorn, Giraffe and Caterpillar, side by side.

One friend came home in the box. In the story, your little one meets the whole crew.

how the stories work

Series One, the Adventure Friend Series, shares a set of devices across all six books: the Adventure Breath, a calming breath your little one can borrow at bedtime; the Story Door, the doorway into each adventure; and a blue feather that connects one book to the next. Caterpillar’s book uses her own version, the Growing Breath.

The four beats are always the same. A safe home with a family routine. A gentle quest about waiting, sharing, trying or change. A helpful guide, usually a parent, who helps the child understand. Then a loving return, calm and safe, with something for the grown-up reading aloud to take away.
