Slow Sunday Tales · a small studio

Quiet books for slow mornings.

We're a small studio making quiet books for slow mornings — the kind you linger over instead of race through. We're starting with word searches: the first is Ocean Word Search, sixty puzzles that drift from the shore to the deep, a different hand-drawn sea creature on every page. On Etsy and Amazon.
