Pip and the Enormous Carrot
A gentle story about teamwork, in the enormous-turnip tradition β a repeat-and-build rhythm little ones chant along to, and everyone matters, even the smallest friend.
Picture stories, first readers, and cozy colouring books for children ages 3 to 8 β made with a lot of care (and a lot of carrots).
Pip the bunny finds a carrot far too big for one small bunny β so, one by one, his friends arrive to help. The same warm story comes in two shapes: a read-aloud picture book, and a first reader for children just starting out.

A gentle story about teamwork, in the enormous-turnip tradition β a repeat-and-build rhythm little ones chant along to, and everyone matters, even the smallest friend.

The same adventure, written for brand-new readers: one short sentence on every page, and the picture always shows exactly what the words say. With a word list and read-together tips at the back.
Bold outlines, generous white space, and nothing fiddly β colouring books designed so small children can actually finish a page and feel proud of it.

An advent colouring countdown β one cozy winter-animal page a day, all the way to Christmas. A quiet, screen-free ritual for the busiest month of the year.

The internet's favourite calm little creature, in big cozy outlines β with a fun capybara fact tucked beside every page. Gentle, chunky, and very hard not to smile at.

The smiliest little salamander in the pond, in bold, easy outlines β with a fun axolotl fact beside every page. Did you know they can regrow a whole leg? Your little one soon will.

Foxes, owls, hedgehogs, and friends from the quiet corners of the forest β big friendly outlines with an autumn-cozy feel, made for small hands and thick crayons.
Hopfield Books is a tiny independent imprint. We make gentle picture books, first readers, and cozy colouring books for children ages 3 to 8 β the kind of books you read twice because they asked you to.
Every book starts with a story worth telling and a world worth spending time in. Pip's sunny meadow began with one carrot that was simply too big to pull alone β and it keeps growing, one friend at a time.
Our illustrations are created with AI tools and then reviewed and refined by hand, page by page, until every character looks right. We believe in telling you that plainly β so it's noted on every book's Amazon listing, too. The stories, the words, and the care are ours.
We publish a few carefully made books a year. A newsletter is coming soon β until then, the best way to hear about new books is on Amazon.
