Gentle books
for small hands

Picture stories, first readers, and cozy colouring books for children ages 3 to 8 β€” made with a lot of care (and a lot of carrots).

The Pip & Friends series

One carrot, too big to pull alone

Pip the bunny finds a carrot far too big for one small bunny β€” so, one by one, his friends arrive to help. The same warm story comes in two shapes: a read-aloud picture book, and a first reader for children just starting out.

Our story

Small books, made with care

Hopfield Books is a tiny independent imprint. We make gentle picture books, first readers, and cozy colouring books for children ages 3 to 8 β€” the kind of books you read twice because they asked you to.

Every book starts with a story worth telling and a world worth spending time in. Pip's sunny meadow began with one carrot that was simply too big to pull alone β€” and it keeps growing, one friend at a time.

How our books are made

Our illustrations are created with AI tools and then reviewed and refined by hand, page by page, until every character looks right. We believe in telling you that plainly β€” so it's noted on every book's Amazon listing, too. The stories, the words, and the care are ours.

Stay in the loop

New books, now and then

We publish a few carefully made books a year. A newsletter is coming soon β€” until then, the best way to hear about new books is on Amazon.
