Every story begins with a spark of imagination. At Willow Hart Books, creating a Jay’s Pony Tales title is a journey filled with creativity, collaboration and care.
It begins with the idea — a question about what Jay might learn next, or how his farm friends can teach children about kindness and curiosity. Once the idea takes shape, we write each story with the UK curriculum in mind, ensuring vocabulary and sentence structure suit early readers.
Then come the illustrations. Each drawing brings Jay’s world to life with warmth and charm. We test our stories with children and teachers, making sure the pacing, humour and educational value feel just right.
After that, we pair each story with activities that reinforce reading comprehension and creativity. From puzzles to writing prompts, every page is designed to help children learn while having fun.
Finally, the book goes through editing, printing and careful checks before reaching families and schools. Every Jay’s Pony Tales story carries the heart of our mission: to make reading joyful, educational and full of wonder.
