Where dinosaurs roam and a mermaid princess swims, where a child can host a fairy tea party or sail the open seas on a pirate ship. A place for imagination, exploration and fun.
Peaceable Kingdom Press was started in 1983 by Olivia and Thacher Hurd. Thacher is the son of renowned children’s book artist Clement Hurd who illustrated the classic picture books Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. One day, Clement made a painting based on the art from Goodnight Moon and asked Olivia and Thacher if they wanted to sell it as a poster. They printed 1,000 posters, sold it to stores in Berkeley, CA and the next thing you know, a company was born.
Over the years, Peaceable Kingdom Press has added hundreds of new products that feature the art from renowned children’s book illustrators. They now work with more than 100 artists and their product offerings include birthday cards, games, stickers, paper dolls, puzzles, diaries, and valentines. All of our products have one thing in common – they nourish children’s hearts, eyes, minds, and funny bones!
What matters most to Peaceable Kingdom Press is simple: make good, do good, and be good. They maintain a personal integrity in all of their relationships, remain dedicated to producing original high-quality products that are manufactured in socially-responsible facilities, use recycled and FSC certified paper in 100% of their cards and envelopes, support local community by volunteering in the schools and the larger world by donating to charitable organizations that support the lives of children.
