In a world with thousands upon thousands of picture books, why is The Cat in the Hat on nearly every shelf? Why do we continue to invite Curious George and Winnie-the-Pooh into our homes to play? These books don’t tell your story or mine; they tell the stories that we all share- stories of innocence and friendship, failure and forgiveness, spectacular adventure and a safe return home. When we are moved by what a story has given us- an example of sacrifice and courage, a flight of uncharted imagination, a reprieve from the dull or desperate reality of our world- we can’t help but pass it on.

In a world with thousands upon thousands of picture books, Tickled Fancy Publishing intends to be a part of this legacy, bringing together vibrant poetry and captivating artwork to tell stories that will stand the test of time. We publish through print-on-demand platforms which allow us to bypass the editorial gatekeepers of the traditional publishing machine without sacrificing the standard of excellence upheld by the finest books. Let us join you today in the mission to teach, to thrill, and to inspire.
