Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labour of love—written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.

Samantha Helle is a wildlife conservationist who works closely with local communities in Nepal to study and protect tigers. She is also a science communicator who founded the non-profit organization Project Conservation, which supports people and projects on the frontlines of global conservation.
