At Sunshine & Poppies Press, we create eco-friendly board books that inspire curiosity, imagination, and thoughtful play.

Based in Ontario, Canada, our books introduce real-world jobs through gentle storytelling and design-forward illustrations—helping little readers explore how people work, create, and contribute.

Made with care

• FSC-certified board

• Soy-based inks

• Water-based lamination

• Designed for ages 0–3

• One-word-per-page format for early engagement

We want families to see beyond “typical” careers and celebrate the wide variety of jobs that make the world go round — from the everyday to the unexpected. Our minimalist board books pair gentle colours with career themes that inspire curiosity and imagination.

What makes us different?

• Gentle, design-forward visuals for calm, curious reading

• Eco-conscious materials, thoughtfully sourced

• Inclusive characters—every child belongs here

• Small-batch quality, made to be kept and passed down

Sunshine & Poppies Press grew from a story of love, loss and renewal — “Sunshine” for my son, whose light still guides every creative step, and “Poppies” for the blossoms that remind me that joy can bloom again.

We’re proud to partner with retailers who share our love of thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and sustainable values.
