At Reflection Tree Publishing, we believe that stories are one of the most powerful ways to help children learn, grow, and thrive. Founded by Jim Scott, our publishing house was created as a way to bring the latest tools and techniques from psychology, brain science, and child development into engaging, playful stories that not only entertain but also equip children with essential life skills.

Our mission is simple: to help children grow—inside and out. Through storytelling, we introduce kids to the science-backed strategies that can help them understand their emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy habits in a way that feels natural and fun.

Turning Science into Stories That Matter

The world of psychology and neuroscience is filled with groundbreaking insights into how children develop emotionally, physically, and cognitively. But too often, this research stays in academic circles. At Reflection Tree Publishing, we hope to bridge that gap by translating complex ideas into simple, engaging stories that children can connect with and apply to their daily lives.

Our first book, The Mind Bus, introduces children to a group of fun and quirky characters, each teaching a valuable lesson about emotional health. By making emotions feel like passengers on a bus, children can begin to recognise, name, and manage their feelings in a playful and empowering way.

But emotional well-being is just the beginning! We have exciting books in the works that will help children with:

• Better sleep – using gentle relaxation techniques and calming bedtime stories

• Physical development – playful movement-based stories to encourage coordination and strength

• Brain development – engaging books that spark curiosity and boost cognitive skills

We’re just getting started. Our goal is to create a library of books that support children’s emotional, cognitive, and physical development—giving them tools that will last a lifetime.
