We are on a mission at Boda to create an A-Z of diverse and inclusive picture books. We specialise in stories written to music and for every book sold we donate a children’s meal to a local charity or club.
Forever More
Written to the song “Anchor” by Michael MacLennan, Forever More is a story of discovery, friendship and everlasting love.
Sometimes when two hearts collide the bond will help them grow, but when the time is ready, it’s ok to let them go.
Drop
Drop is a story of life and nature. It follows the adventures of a young boy as he personifies the journey of the water table.
Lighthouse
When a fisherman sets off to provide for his family he stumbles across a raft with another family seeking safety.
Lighthouse reminds us that we are all on a journey for survival and that we can only heal each other once we’ve learned to heal ourselves.
Greenie the Ghost
Little Ayva doesn’t seem too bothered by ghosts, despite Greenie trying hard to scare her. She realises that being alone can scare her the most, and having a ghost by her side might not be so bad after all.
‘Billy would dream about wearing the crown, to be the new queen of the best hive in town!’
The queen is about to retire and all the female worker bees are lining up to take her place! Billy the drone has always dreamt about being the queen but will the other bees accept a male drone at the head of the hive?!
A playful story with vibrant illustrations perfect for a younger audience. Some great fun facts about bees can also be found at the end of the story. Apparently, bees dance to communicate… who knew?!!
Horse was tired of being blue and longed to be at Zebra Zoo…
Join Horse on a journey of discovery to Zebra Zoo where not everything is black and white.
Iain’s illustrations are bold and crisp throughout, starting with monochromatic tones to reflect horse’s imagination. A colourful, vibrant palette begins to emerge as horse finally reaches his destination.
Debut picture book by Darren Spink & Iain Carroll, Angel is a story about overcoming adversity and chasing your dreams. It follows a little girl and her dream to be at the top of the Christmas Tree.
The story is written in the form of a ballad with accompanying music from Dublin based pianist and songwriter Michael MacLennan of The Music Institute. Vocals by Catherine Ward
As Vinnie headed home to cook, the rumbles groaned inside his tummy…he opened up his recipe book and soon the house was smelling yummy!
Blood allergies are not ideal for Vampires. Can Vinnie, armed with his trusty cookbook of veggie recipes, persuade his monster friends that there is more to life than blood and gore?
