WE’RE CHARLENE & SIMON

We started Sooper Books for our daughter, Goldie.
Now, our stories are enjoyed by millions.

It was a cosy winter's evening in the big smoke. Charlene and Simon were getting the house ready for an arrival. Goldie, the beautiful bump, would be here soon. While tussling with a flat-pack bookshelf and crates of books, the expecting duo had an idea.

What if, they said, we could carry these storybooks for Goldie wherever we went? And what if the stories she read were fresh, imaginative and curious, like us? Simon got writing. Charlene got drawing. And with a little push, Sooper Books, and Goldie, were born.

Turn the page to today, and we’re a modern family of Emmy-winning, Grammy-nominated, critically-acclaimed writers, illustrators and narrators. We’re here for one thing only: to bring great stories to children everywhere.

Why? Because we believe every child in this world deserves to discover the infinite joy of stories, whether reading or listening to them. Stories that help them see the world differently, burst open their imaginations and fire up a love of reading that lasts forever.

MEET THE TEAM.

From winning Emmies® to working with Disney, our team of magical storytellers are hard to beat.

Audio stories are hugely beneficial to children's behaviour, mental health and development.

But to get the full benefit you need really good ones, and a lot of them.
