Hand-painted adventures for families to enjoy.
Welcome, I’m Derek
I’m a watercolor artist who loves painting imaginative worlds for kids. I struggled to read as a child, so I know how important good visual storytelling is for children. I remember the frustration of just not being able to get it when I was a kid. Because of that, I dedicated my career to creating books that actually inspire children to learn. To get them excited about reading. To want to pick themselves up and try again.
I also think it’s just as important the parents enjoy the books too. Because the most important thing at the end of the day is the bonding time a child gets with their loved ones.
I can’t wait for you to enjoy the adventures of Brudders and his forest friends. Our mission is to help you build kind, compassionate, and confident children who feel encouraged to pick themselves back up when obstacles come their way.
