Come along and browse a fantastic selection of books for all ages, from babies and toddlers to confident readers. Whether you’re looking for a new bedtime story, activity book, or an exciting adventure, there’ll be something for everyone.

While you’re there, you can also enjoy visiting the wonderful ponies and supporting a fantastic local sanctuary. 💕

I’d love to see some familiar faces, so be sure to stop by and say hello!

I'm delighted to have donated this lovely Magic Painting Space book as a raffle prize for The Russell School's Summer Fair this weekend! 🚀✨

If you're in the Chorleywood area, please do consider popping along to support the school and enjoy what I'm sure will be a fantastic event.

Good luck to everyone entering the raffle, and I hope the lucky winner enjoys exploring the wonders of space with this wonderful book! 💙

Today is a very special delivery day! 📚✨

I'm heading to Little Chalfont School with the wonderful collection of books raised through their Community Book Pledge.

Of course, no book delivery would be complete without my trusty assistant, Mini Moose! 🫎💕 She has been busy helping with stock checking, organising books and making sure everything is ready for the big day. (She takes her role very seriously!)

I can't wait to see the children's faces when they're presented with their new books. There's something so special about knowing these books will soon be sparking imaginations, encouraging curiosity and helping to create a lifelong love of reading.

A huge thank you to all of the generous supporters who made this possible:
💜 Lydia Alty from Lydia A Entertainment
💜 Code Ninjas Amersham
💜 Little Chalfont Village Association
💜 The families of Little Chalfont School

Your kindness and support will have a lasting impact on the children, and I'm so grateful to have been part of bringing this fantastic community project together.

Now, Mini Moose and I are off to make a very exciting delivery! 📚🫎✨

📚 I'm looking for a few local people to join my Usborne team! 📚

The demand for children's books at fairs, school events, nurseries and toddler groups is growing faster than I can keep up with, and I currently have more event opportunities than I can cover myself. I’d really love to build a strong team across Bucks, Herts and the surrounding areas (but further afield is ok too!)

If you've ever thought about earning some extra income in a flexible way around family life, this could be worth a look. 💛

I started my Usborne business nearly 3 years ago after reducing my teaching hours, and it's given me:
✨ Extra income
✨ Flexibility around family life
✨ More time with my daughter
✨ A fantastic support network
✨ Access to free and discounted books

You don't need sales experience, and you can fit it around school runs, childcare, work or other commitments.

It's particularly popular with parents, teachers, teaching assistants and anyone who loves children's books and wants a flexible side income.

If you'd like to know more about what I do and whether it might be a good fit for you, send me a message for a friendly, no-pressure chat 😊

My Little Usborne Book Shop Is Doing Quite Well! 😊📚

I’m feeling incredibly grateful today.

Thanks to your support, I’ve climbed further up the Usborne Partner rankings and maintained my status of Silver Membership in the Leadership Community!

I’m genuinely grateful for every order, recommendation, and opportunity to share wonderful books with children and families. 💜📚

When I started my little book shop, I simply wanted to help children discover books they would love and support families in building a love of reading. To see it growing and achieving milestones like these is something I’m really proud of.

Thank you to everyone who has ordered books, hosted an event, supported a school book fair, recommended me to friends, or cheered me on along the way. Every bit of support means so much and helps me continue doing something I truly enjoy.

Here’s to many more stories, adventures, and inspiring young readers in the months ahead! 📖✨

Thank you for helping my little Usborne book shop grow — I couldn’t do it without you. 💜
