Brilliant Monsters Books

We are a new independent children’s publishers, specialising in accessible books which promote empathy and inclusion.

Our aim is simple - encourage children to develop a life long love of reading. We love to bring stories alive for children so that they engage with them and in turn become passionate, life-long readers. Reading for pleasure is a skill that keeps on giving and not one that needs to be only used at school. We work with families and schools to support children on their reading journey. To help schools and families achieve this we can also arrange book projects, author and illustrator events, immersive book weeks, storytelling sessions and creative writing workshops.
