    Each member of our team comes from a different background but share a common passion for storytelling. We crossed paths working at Mukpuddy Animation and in that creative hub, found ourselves overflowing with ideas for stories, books, games, and even toys! But we know dreaming is a lot easier than following through, so we pulled up our sleeves and got to work. Starting with publishing: our first two books are Wilbur's Cosmic Cone (a picture book series) and The Undomestication of Benjamin Lupinworth (a 4-part graphic novel). We are working on many more things that we will share in the future.
