Stories are precious, like dreams in the night.
They need someone to keep them safe and bright.
So before the first story even began,
the world made a keeper, with a wonderful plan:
a keeper of questions, of wonders that grow,
of things little minds are just waiting to know.
And so Taleisman came into being,
a keeper of stories, of wonder, of seeing.
Taleisman is my storytelling universe for children aged 3 to 12.
Every book begins with a question a child might really ask, or a moment they will recognise:
a mistake, a feeling, a squabble with a sibling.
The stories don’t hand over answers.
They make room for curiosity, for getting things wrong, and for learning that sticks.
Meet the Characters
loves asking questions, big ones and small ones too.
thinks things through and notices the details.
turns big questions into stories that stay with you.
always in a hurry, and always ready to try again.
Zip's cheerful puppy, beside him through every tumble.
a curious little bee who notices the small wonders others miss.
