About MamaBear Books

MamaBear Books is a family owned and operated boutique Children’s Book Publishing company, with a mission to meet the needs of children’s imaginations, creativity, and literacy through beautifully written and illustrated picture books. Together with our authors, illustrators, editors, and team of professionals, we are creating engaging stories and loveable characters for families to enjoy for generations.

Before diving into the world of children’s literature and publishing co-founder, Ashley Wall M.Ed., spent over a decade as a public-school teacher. In those years, she witnessed firsthand the magic that reading can weave into a child’s life. “I understood early on that reading to my own children from infancy was not just a routine—it was a cornerstone of their development.”

After countless bedtime stories and a dream that persisted for years, Ashley finally took the leap to write her own children’s book. It was a journey filled with hope and determination, shared with her husband and MamaBear Books co-founder Jeff, who supported her every step of the way. Together, they decided to not only publish their own books, but to help others bring their stories to life as well. View All MamaBear Books
