H.O.T.Books

House of Tomorrow is a children’s picture-book publisher whose motto, “Books for Tomorrow’s Adults, Today,” reflects its focus on stories with messages relevant to young readers and the world they are growing up in. Its books explore self-acceptance, inclusion, body positivity, and the joys of childhood through playful, engaging storytelling.

One featured title, The Safe Return, is a two-sided, reversible picture book that can be read with face masks on or off. It follows children on a balance-bike ride with friends and promotes a safe return to fun while celebrating the freedoms of childhood. Created with the pandemic in mind, the book also aims to normalize mask-wearing and remain meaningful beyond that period. Another title, We Toot: A Feminist Fable About Farting, uses humor to encourage girls to embrace their bodies. Written by Ashley Wheelock and Arwen Evans and illustrated by Sandie Sonke, it has been praised for combining giggles with an affirming message. House of Tomorrow also provides information about talent submissions and shares press coverage of its books.
