About wee Publish
A small press with a wide sense of wonder.
wee Publish is an independent children's book publisher creating beautiful, thoughtfully made stories rooted in nature, wonder, whimsy, mystery, family, and the extraordinary way children see the world.
Our books are made to invite curiosity, nurture imagination, and give children somewhere wonderful to wander—then return to again and again.
The stories we publish
We are drawn to books with a strong sense of place and an abiding connection to the natural world: wildflowers and woods, gardens and fields, small creatures, changing seasons, hidden places, and the discoveries waiting just outside the door.
Some of our stories are lyrical. Some are funny, mysterious, adventurous, or quietly thoughtful. What connects them is a sense of wonder—and a belief that children's books can be beautiful, intelligent, imaginative, and deeply joyful.
Made for childhood. Made to be kept.
We care about the book as an object as much as the story it holds: beautiful illustration, thoughtful language, considered typography, paper, color, and all the small details that make a child want to pick up a book again.
We want to publish books children remember—and books families are reluctant to part with when the children who loved them aren't so wee anymore.
Why “wee”?
Wee here at wee Publish believe that everything starts in young minds.
The stories children encounter help shape the way they see themselves, other people, and the world around them. We want our books to be a safe place to wonder, question, imagine, laugh, explore, and discover.
We make books that nurture curiosity, encourage confidence, and invite children to think for themselves—stories that take young readers seriously while still leaving plenty of room for silliness, adventure, beauty, and delight.
Because childhood isn't something to rush through. It's where so much begins.
The work we want to make
We are drawn to stories with something to discover—books that are lyrical, curious, funny, mysterious, adventurous, or wonderfully unexpected. We love rich illustration, memorable characters, beautiful language, and worlds children want to wander through long after the last page.
Nature often finds its way into our stories, but so do family, friendship, curiosity, courage, humor, and the small things that feel enormous when you’re young. Above all, we want to make books that respect a child’s imagination and never underestimate it.
