The latest book from Amber Beetle Books, the children’s imprint of Not From This Planet, is called War Bear, and has been written and illustrated by Matthew Wiggans. It tells the story of war refugees through the eyes of a teddy bear left behind. The illustrations are stunning, and the story is inspiring, and we at Not From This Planet are very proud to have published it, and to have partnered with the charity War Child. For every copy of the book sold, £1 will go to War Child. You can get your copy in paperback, hardback or on Kindle here!

Earlier this year, we also published another children’s picture book, written and illustrated by Christina Chard, called Verity Soap and the Silver Candle Snuffer. Christina has been writing and creating the illustrations for this gorgeous book for years, and I think it would make an excellent Christmas gift with the wintery theme and all the wonderful animals in the story. You can get your copy in paperback and hardback here.

The Magical Doorway Series is my own children’s novels, and there are three so far, with more on the way! (Soon, hopefully!) The Magical Faerie Door, The Magical Mermaid Portal and The Magical Dragon Mirror are stories of brave young children who venture into other worlds and dimensions to help magical beings. They are suitable for any age, but have a reading age of 8 to 12. You can get them on Kindle and in paperback and hardback here.

I look forward to expanding our children’s imprint in the next few years, so do keep an eye out for new releases in the future!
