The pandemic has badly affected Tiny Owl. For us to continue publishing high quality inclusive & diverse books, we need your help.

We're still collecting donations

On the 8th December 2020 we'd raised £12,180 with 275 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

TINY OWL NEEDS YOU!

Diverse-led Tiny Owl faces extreme financial pressure at the moment. As result of the pandemic our costs are growing, and many of our projects for this year have been put on hold. 

Unfortunately, our application for Arts Council England emergency funding was rejected recently. But instead of that getting us down, it was your kind support which has given us a glimmer of hope as we look towards the future. 

Your support will help us survive this tough period.

WHAT ARE WE ALL ABOUT?

Tiny Owl was established in 2015 with the aim of publishing high quality, diverse and inclusive picture books for everyone.

Our beautifully illustrated books draw inspiration from cultures all over the world, including Persian legends and the stories of Rumi. We’re a small indie publisher but we think globally, often matching authors and illustrators from different countries to form unique collaborations. 

WE TRULY CARE ABOUT OUR READERS

In March, our very small team decided to create a library of resources to support parents and teachers during the pandemic. As part of our #FlyWithTinyOwl scheme we’ve produced over 120 free read-alongs, how-to videos and activity packs to support and inspire families and schools during these uncertain months. 

To make change happen, we need to keep publishing books that reflect the diversity of our world and the people in it, building bridges to new experiences.

We know that diverse and inclusive books create a better world for us all, promoting tolerance, acceptance and empathy. 

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN

Your donations will ensure that Tiny Owl can survive the next few critical months, and continue to soar for many years to come! 

We are proud that our diverse and inclusive books continue to bring about change. And YOU can be part of that change.
