Can girls build big things?
Little Builders Press is a publisher dedicated to the Little Builders series - from Bella the Beaver, Antonia the Ant, to Queen Beatrice.
These books have been written to encourage young boys and girls to understand the depths of construction. It is more than bricks and sticks; it is management, engineering and teamwork.
Written in child friendly rhymes each character shows a different purpose - whether it is managing a team, engineering the hive, or creating structural stability.
Most importantly, the books have been written to encourage young girls to explore construction, it is not a boy's world anymore and we need to show that!
Building confidence. Breaking stereotypes. One big build at a time.

About the Book
About the Book
Bella's Big Build is the first of a series, to be published in July 2026. It is a playful rhyming picture book, celebrating girls in construction and showing children that everyone can lead and build with confidence.
When Bella the Beaver steps up to manage a daring dam build, she proves that building is not just about strength, it is about planning, teamwork, and belief. As the river rushes and the sticks tumble, Bella shows that great building takes problem‑solving and confidence.
Created to inspire young readers, this story gently challenges stereotypes and encourages children to see that anyone can be a builder, a thinker, and a leader.
Perfect for families, schools, libraries, and anyone passionate about early learning, STEM, and inclusive futures.
