Little Acorn Books, Juliette Valentina, Mindful Parenting, Inspirational children's books
Ivan Bajic
Welcome to Little Acorn Books!

"Nurturing the good in this world is nothing short of a privilege." - Unknown

To parent in a mindful, emotionally intelligent way is a choice. Once you've made that choice, the books and other resources available through Little Acorn Books can be inspiring and practical companions for your journey ... because, regardless of their subjects, they're all (in one way or another) about consciously parenting and educating our children. Our books celebrate and nourish mindful families, with our authors exploring a broad range of topics, including: attachment parenting, emotional intelligence, gentle discipline, natural birthing, co-sleeping, babywearing, home education, alternative education (eg: Steiner & Montessori), and the importance of play. In the words of Pam Leo, "Let's raise children who don't need to recover from their childhoods." (What a worthy goal to aspire to!)

Together with the insightful parenting and educational titles, we also offer a beautiful range of inspirational picture books for children. Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough," and his insight certainly holds true when considering the clarity and depth of wisdom that authors and illustrators bring to children's picture books. Some of the best books being published today are certainly children's titles, well-written and engaging books that not only capture the wonder, curiosity and awe of childhood, but that also nurture empathetic, compassionate, mindful children ... books that empower our young ones to realise their full potential, the proverbial 'mighty oak within the little acorn'.

We are passionate about helping parents, teachers, librarians and others to find beautiful, inspirational books for the children in their lives. May we all share our profound faith in human potential, and our deep appreciation of books, with the next generation!

We hope that you enjoy our selection, which we will be steadily adding to as we build our new online store. We have about 85 more titles to add! If you are after a particular title that you don't see listed as yet, please feel free to contact us. It's probably in stock, and simply awaiting listing. We're also more than happy to take Special Orders. If you are after something special, simply let us know and we'll order it in for you!

Thank you for supporting Little Acorn Books, a small, family-owned store!

"The reason praise can work in the short run is that young children are hungry for our approval. We have a responsibility not to exploit that dependence for our own convenience." Alfie Kohn
