The Junior Series is Growing Up

We created the first Junior Series books so that kids could see themselves as scientists, explorers, and stewards of the world around them. Since then, our Junior characters have grown up.

And so have we.

We've grown as illustrators, storytellers, and publishers—and we wanted the Junior Series to grow with us. We went back to the beginning, bringing everything we've learned along the way. The result is a completely refreshed collection with reimagined characters, updated illustrations, and a more connected Junior Series.

Same curiosity. Same adventures. A Junior Series that's grown right alongside us.

A gingerbread cookie shaped like a smiling boy with white icing details and blue candies, inside a decorative blue box, on a kitchen counter with a lit candle, a blue bowl, and a window showing a Christmas tree outside.

The Gingerbread That Stayed

Every December, the kitchen fills with flour, laughter, and the warm smell of gingerbread. Cookies are baked, decorated, admired, and eaten—but every year, one gingerbread stays. Year after year, as children grow and Christmases come and go, the gingerbread stays, quietly holding the warmth, laughter, and memories of the season. The Gingerbread That Stayed is a heartfelt Christmas book about family, memory, and the small rituals that become treasured keepsakes.
