About Blue Ribbons

A small publisher with big worlds

Blue Ribbons Publishing is an independent British publisher of colouring and activity books for children.

Our story

Blue Ribbons began with a simple idea: that a colouring book can be the doorway into a whole world. Our first book, Magical Unicorn Academy, was published in 2026.

Since then the studio has been busy. A cheerful dinosaur hospital, a cove full of young mermaids, a town of hardworking construction machines and a crew of space explorers are all taking shape, each with characters of their own.

What we believe

Worlds, not one-offs

Every book belongs to a world with places and characters children can come back to, book after book.

Characters who stay themselves

Luna always carries her star satchel, and Professor Rex is never without the blue bow tie. Children notice, so we take care that every character looks and behaves the same in every book.

Imagination leads

There is no wrong way to colour a unicorn. Our books leave room for children to make each page their own.

Made with grown-ups in mind

Clear age guidance, pages printed on one side, and simple ideas for enjoying the books together.

Working with us

We would love to hear from bookshops, stockists and possible creative partners.
