Hug and Read

Welcome to Hug and Read, 
where storytime becomes the best part of your day.

We know how hard it can be to bond with your child through long, complicated books. 
That’s why we create short, deeply connective, and multicultural children’s stories that help families laugh, cuddle, and connect without stress.

Each book is inspired by real kids, shaped by honest feedback, and designed by parents who truly understand the storytime struggle.

Whether you're looking for bedtime calm, everyday giggles, or gentle affirmations, our stories are made for busy families who want to slow down and share love one page at a time.

Created by a mum, written from the heart, and crafted to bring your family closer.

Subscribe for read-alouds, behind-the-scenes peeks, and new stories that celebrate connection in every language, colour, and cuddle.
