An excerpt from the story
There was once an old lady called Mother Nature. She lived in the mountains and she swam in the streams, and she brewed all the colours that I saw in my dreams.
She was tall and wide, and had trees for her thighs, and she listened and listened to the skies and the tide. She could jump between mountains and turn waterfalls to fountains, and she could swim in the sea much deeper than me.
She could run faster than leopards and protect sheep like the shepherds, and yet she cried like the tide as the planet died at her side.
She pleaded to the people to not litter the seas, and she asked them kindly to not fell the trees.
She shielded the animals from the hunters and thieves, and she begged them to leave the whales in the seas.
She soaked up the sun as its burning begun, and she tried and tried as her home slowly died.
But then YOU came running up by her side!
“Let’s save the planet!” you cried, as the animals cheered far and wide, and the trees stood up taller, side by side...

Sustainable production
We put a lot of thought into whether or not we should continue the tradition of physically printing children’s books. After all, we have Kindle and iPad these days, right? Why waste more paper? Well, yes, this is all true, but after several months’ research on the topic, all data points concluded that kids are already getting way too much “screen time”. So, what could we do? We’re a business with sustainability at our heart and should discourage paper usage… but we’re also a business that wants to encourage kids to get outside and away from the screens they’re all too often drawn to! The solution was to scour the globe for a large-scale printing partner that followed strict practices of sustainability, including frequent use of recycled papers and plant-based inks. And, sure enough, we found one! As a result, you can buy from us knowing we’re here for the planet – and you can even recycle our books in years to come! Even our delivery service within Australia is 100% carbon neutral 🚚 😍
About us
A story about Ethicool
In 2019, two famed writers realised they had read just about every renowned children's book ever produced. Many of these books, too, they adored and read over and over again to their own children, revelling in the utterly timeless joy that is found when children become immersed in a story. But, "what now?" they thought, gazing into the very-full bookshelf of their eldest child. This is when they realised, in the literal heat of Australia's horrendous bushfire season, it was time to start a new realm of a children's books; to introduce a revitalised approach to everything surrounding this time-honoured industry... And so, Ethicool was born. A progressive, passionate, and even polarising brand that has begun to turn this industry on its head. All Ethicool books are sustainably produced, dispatched, and of course, ethically written. But, most of all, Ethicool exists to engage children in the issues that are impacting our planet, and to empower them to make lasting change. Welcome to Ethicool, we're SO glad you're here.
