Bushwillow Books – A publishing house

Bushwillow Books is a proudly South African publishing house. We started Bushwillow Books based on the conviction that children require high quality, fun and engaging content that speaks to their lived, diverse experiences. We produce children’s literature and educational content that nurtures a confident, strong, intelligent, well-balanced, happy child. We set up Bushwillow Books officially in the second half of 2020, and published our first book at the start of 2021. We sell our products directly to the public through our online store, as well as wholesale to retailers.

Our Origins

We have always been avid readers and lovers of books. It was as natural as turning a page in a book to write a story for our son. We wanted to write a story that reflected our identities. A story that was filled with all the mystery and magic of adventure that should be part of every girl’s and boy’s childhood. What started off as imagining and sharing bedtime tales with our son, grew into a printed book and then a publishing house.
