Rooted in real life.
Created for real children.
I’m Trish Iiams, founder of The Little Pebble Books. As a mother, grandmother, foster parent, and adoptive parent, I’ve seen how deeply children need to feel safe, seen, and understood. I also saw how a gentle story could sometimes reach a child when ordinary words could not. Those real-life moments became the heart of The Little Pebble Books. Today, I create stories and practical emotional support tools to help trusted adults offer children comfort, connection, belonging, and hope when they need it most.
“If one child feels less alone because of these books, then they are doing exactly what they were meant to do.”
