Mission

We want you to feel welcome

This is us Books creates space for stories, facts, and play that mainstream publishing often overlooks – from relationship safety and consent to sexual health, body literacy, and joyful learning. Illustrated books such as A Celebration of Vulva Diversity, German editions, and card games make that diversity tangible – all meant to inform, delight, and affirm.

Our new English edition of You Would Never Let That Happen – When love turns toxic – meets readers who once thought abuse could never happen to them, with clear language for red flags, coercive patterns, and paths toward safety and healing.
