Books by Nat makes picture books for curious kids and the grown ups who read to them. Big questions, silly rhymes, and pages you'll want to read again tomorrow night.
Sam finds a dark, bumpy rock in his backyard. Could it have come all the way from outer space? Reserve your copy of our very first picture book.
Rhythm and rhyme that roll off the tongue, so bedtime feels like a little show.
Every story starts with the kind of question kids actually ask, like "where did this rock come from?"
We're a tiny independent publisher on Long Island, and every book gets real care.
Coming soon
Sam is playing in his backyard when he spots a dark, bumpy rock in the grass. It looks like nothing he has ever seen. Could it have fallen all the way from outer space? With his puppy by his side, Sam sets out to find the answer. A rhyming story about curiosity, big questions, and the fun of finding out for yourself.
Another story is already bubbling. Check back soon, or say hello and we'll let you know when it's here.
