Our Story

Founded by children’s author Emmy Chan, Little Mangrove Press features beautifully hand-illustrated informational fiction children’s books designed to inspire the next generation of responsible travellers and global citizens. By weaving engaging storytelling with themes of environmental care, cultural exploration and sustainable travel, each story is created to show young readers what it means to explore the world with intention and to leave each place more beautiful than they found it. 

To help educators and parents bring these lessons to life, we also provide interactive teaching resources and lesson plans designed to deepen learning both in the classroom and at home.

    "The illustrations are beautiful and really bring the alpine setting to life, with lots of little details for children to spot. The story is gentle and engaging, making it a great read especially for younger children. I really like the meaning behind the story, helping children to understand more about sustainability in a fun and accessible way."

    "Remy learns all about sustainable tourism and there are actually some solid tips for such in the book... I would love to read these to students and discuss not only Austria[,] but ecological tourism as a whole. The artwork is very engaging. I hope that this book will be part of a series, since the author hinted at such."

    "A beautifully charming book teaching little ones about respecting the environment whilst travelling. The lessons taught in this book are apt for both children and adults alike... My 3 year old loved the illustrations...The detail is fantastic. The topic of the book is one that we don't see often for small children and is a breath of fresh air."
