Cornish wildlife stories for children

Children's books: Choughs and chums, Kerra the Kingfisher and Badger Bill.

Chough Rock are a family self-publishers based in Cornwall, who specialise in young children’s story books that are inspired by nature. We are passionate about our local habitats and wildlife, we love where we live and want to inspire our children to feel the same way.

Our beautiful rhyming books make great bedtime stories for children 2 – 8 years old, perfect for little animal lovers. The bold artwork for each book is illustrated from the real-life wildlife photography by Author Martin Yelland with the actual photographs featured at the end of each book, making them ideal for any budding birdwatchers or wildlife explorers. These Cornish books encourage children to get outside and spot local birds and animals in the wild!

In 2018 we published our first book ‘Choughs and Chums’ which has been sent all around the world from Cornwall to Australia and Dubai. A few years later we released our second publication ‘Kerra the Kingfisher’. A husband and wife team with two children, Martin writes the books and Zoe illustrates and produces them. Our third and long awaited book Badger Bill has just been published.

Absolutely love this book. Given as a gift to my nephew. My brother in law is Cornish but now lives in Australia so given to him to remind him of his Cornish heritage! Arrived super quickly, well packaged. Thank you so much!
