Why a butterfly?
When I was thinking of a name to call our publishing house, I wanted it to represent everyone. Being a new writer of the Inclusive Books for Children genre meant I wanted to ensure it had strong associations with inclusion (of course). I love metaphors and having been in the graphic design industry for 19 years, I understood that memorable and successful business names often used familiar words that translated into imagery in our minds. This ensures our best chance of remembering it.
A butterfly perfectly represents what we aim to do.
We aim to bring hope and positive change to the lives of young children and their families. That’s a bold statement, however we find it’s an easy one to address. More on that later.
Our Metaphor
The butterfly represents struggling children that persist when things are a challenge, continue to learn and grow, then transform into bright and happy individuals who are ready to fly confidently into the world.
Our Logo
On first glance you see a butterfly and words. Looking closer you’ll notice the illustration has been created with B for Butterfly and a P for Publishing. The lines within the B represent the written word ie. publishing. So when we publish a resource, we create a butterfly.
If we can add a little bit of brightness to each person that uses our resources then we are successful.
