About Word Monster Books
An imprint of Sail Away Publishing

Word Monster Books was created with one goal in mind: to craft meaningful, memorable picture books that help children make sense of the world around them. As an imprint of Sail Away Publishing, we specialise in beautifully designed children’s books that combine powerful storytelling with striking, original artwork.

We believe picture books can do more than entertain—they can shape how children see themselves and others. That’s why every Word Monster title is built around positive, thoughtful messages for today’s world. From kindness and empathy to confidence, resilience, and inclusivity, our stories are created to spark conversations that matter.

Stories That Stay With You
Our books are designed to be read again and again. We work closely with authors to develop narratives that are engaging, age-appropriate, and emotionally resonant—stories that children connect with and caregivers feel good about sharing.

Beautiful, Unique Illustration
At the heart of every Word Monster book is its visual identity. We collaborate with talented illustrators to create artwork that is distinctive, expressive, and full of character. Each page is carefully crafted to capture a child’s imagination while supporting and enhancing the story.

Thoughtful Design for Young Readers
From layout and typography to pacing and page turns, every detail is considered. We ensure that each book is not only visually appealing but also easy and enjoyable for young readers to follow, whether they’re listening, learning, or beginning to read on their own.

Built for Today’s Families
We understand that children’s books play an important role in early development. Our imprint is dedicated to producing stories that reflect the diversity, challenges, and joys of modern childhood—helping kids feel seen, supported, and inspired.

At Word Monster Books, we’re passionate about creating picture books that leave a lasting impression—stories filled with heart, paired with artwork that children will return to time and time again.
