Green Turtle Press
At Green Turtle Press
Green Turtle Press is an independent publisher of warm, thoughtful stories for young children.
Our books are created for the quiet, everyday moments between children and the grown-ups who read with them — the bedtime stories, the slow afternoons, the questions asked out of nowhere, and the small conversations that often stay with us the longest.
We publish stories about family, closeness, curiosity, kindness, and the simple wonder of being human.
for small moments
Modern family life can move quickly. There are screens, schedules, notifications, and noise everywhere.
Our stories offer a small pause inside that world. A reason to sit close, turn the pages slowly, and spend a little time together without rushing.
They are created for modern life, but rooted in something timeless: connection, presence, and care.
we create stories
Childhood is shaped by small things.
A laugh shared at the end of the day. A hand held during a walk. A question about the moon, the trees, or why people feel the way they do. These are the moments that may seem ordinary at the time, but often become the memories children carry with them.
Green Turtle Press was created to give space to those moments — through stories that feel gentle, familiar, and full of heart.
shared by families
Green Turtle Press books are written with children in mind, but also with the grown-ups beside them.
The language is simple and warm. The stories are easy to follow, but leave room for feeling, conversation, and imagination. They are made to be read at bedtime, after school, on quiet mornings, or whenever a family needs a softer moment in the day.
Each book is an invitation to slow down and share something real.
and carried into childhood
We hope our stories comfort children, inspire kindness, and help families feel a little closer.
More than anything, we hope they become part of a family’s own story — books that are read again, remembered fondly, and returned to when a child wants something familiar, gentle, and true.
Green Turtle Press publishes stories to come home to.
