We make picture books in which a real child is the hero.
We began with Christmas Eve, the night children wait for all year. A parent tells us a little about their child: how they look, what they love, something kind they did. We turn that into a story where the child helps put things right at the North Pole, and Santa writes afterwards to say thank you.
We use AI to write each story and paint its pictures. Then one of us reads the whole book, looks at every page and signs it off by name before it is printed. We would not send out a book we would not be glad to give ourselves.
The name comes from the light of a fire on a winter evening, which is where we hope these books get read.
