Books

Kathy Urban’s picture books invite young readers into story worlds that feel magical and (magically) familiar at the same time.

Her stories move between the tender and the joyful - from a bee-saving rescue mission in Kind Little Hands, to everyday childhood experiences in A Tree for Everyone, which explores play and community, to the playful energy of Hop Lola Hop and its companion books.

Published by Little Steps Publishing, Kathy's books have found readers across the globe. Hop Lola Hop is now available in Arabic, with German translations of her full catalogue currently underway.
