Librio

On the first day of Christmas, my Librio gave to me... A squirrel in an oak tree Yes, we know the first day of Christmas is actually 25th December, but there's snow outside and advent calendars opening, so we got a bit carried away. 🎅 🎄 🕸 #librio #christmasgift #squirrel #snow #kidlit #kidlitart #personalisedbooks #personalizedbooks

1,000 BOOKS ORDERED IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS! We worked for months on Librio hoping for the best but not knowing how the world would react when we launched. Well, now we know after selling 1,000 books in our first two weeks! THANK YOU! Not only is that 1,000 children who will enjoy our books this Christmas, it’s $1,000 given to children’s charities and it’s 1,000 trees planted to help lift families out of poverty while improving our environment. To celebrate, we’re launching 4 new languages today: Spanish + 3 more Swiss dialects (Bundner, Glarner and Walliser). Thank you, thank you, thank you! Here’s to the next 1,000! #kidlit #personalisedbooks #personalizedbooks #librio #christmasgift #present #kidlitart

Have to admit that being shown by @sketchbookclub that I can create this was one of the highlights of a great #bml17 Thanks Jennie! #icantdraw

‪What a thing to have on your wall. Nick's come back from #picturecamp brimful of ideas and confidence after a week with some children's book illustration legends. @_jimfield @chrishaughton @chris_riddell #picturecamp #illustration #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #illustrator

Time to get the winter clothes out. #winteriscoming #blue #daddysgirl #hat #bobblehat #zurich (at Rüschlikon, Switzerland)

See how much of this we can tap into tomorrow ❤️ #lililoli #librio #seneca @timferriss

Some early work to see what characters will be available on Librio. See more on our website on Friday. #librio #kidsbooks #hairstyle #girls #boys

I find this video of Nick sketching mesmerising. As a Non-drawer, I find the ease with which he glides across the page equally infuriating and fascinating. Is that really how you're meant to hold a pencil to draw? Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. This is a sketch for one of the images from our upcoming book. Look out for our new website on Friday with more details. #sketch #squirrel #oaktree #forest #kidsbooks #librio #childrensbooks @madebykikisoso #drawing #timelapse

This little fella's going to be accompanying you in our first book. He's braver than he looks and just as cheeky. #squirrel #librio #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #picturebook

Hoot. Sweet. #owl #hoot #librio #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #picturebook

One of my favourite quotes ever. I came across it in the @calm app's #dailycalm last year during a very stressful period. It's a quote which has driven a lot of my thinking during the Librio set up phase and it's something I'm sure many on here can relate to. #librio #startup #viktorefrankl

The day I got these images from Nick was one of my favourite Librio days so far. I just wanted to print them out and put them on the wall in the kids' room. They'll be populating the pages of our first book. Along with some others I'll introduce later. Enzo doesn't know he has a bear yet, but he will do soon. #animals #forest #woodlands #hedgehog #bear #beaver #kidsbooks #picturebook #illustration

The split second I took the photo, the sky lit up behind them. After a day trying to get some decent shots in rubbish lighting, at least I got repaid with this. #lightning #goodtiming #familysunday (at Kerenzerberg Pass)

Take it from me, little man, as a veteran of two older sisters, this is just the beginning. Now, where's that photo of me in a tutu?.... #bigsister #livingdoll #littlebro

I walked past these letters from @jojomamanbebe for two weeks before realising there was a red sports car on the Z. Very fitting considering everyone thinks we named him after #enzoferrari. We didn't, by the way, but it's OK. #jojomamanbebe #ferrari #enzo
