An independent publishing house that shares stories with purpose to:
EMPOWER, EDUCATE, ENTERTAIN
Each story raises awareness and gives back to charitable causes that can drive positive change.
Stories are how we have always made sense of the world. Now more than ever, as we evolve and navigate a new era in which we coexist with technology, stories are fundamental to what makes us human.
Our narratives help nurture true friendship –Buddyhood – where everyone feels they can belong in even the most unsettling of times. Our purpose is to be a buddy to our readers to help them feel supported so that they can thrive
Harleen and Andrew are The Buddyhood’s founders and authors.
“We are parents, who believe, like all parents, that our children, and every child for that matter, deserves a better world. Post the pandemic, society has become fragmented and emotional dysregulation, compounded with social media, is causing a generational divide and mental health crisis.
It’s not fair and we want to do something about it.
We want to champion children and parents because it’s not easy and everyone is trying their hardest. We care and our books hope to bring people together, whilst sharing the warmth of a hug; something that we would have appreciated when times were tough.
Our collaborative work is rooted in diversity of thought and a profound friendship; our Buddyhood. It has helped us navigate difficult times and provided us with a sense of belonging. Through The Buddyhood books that we publish, and all our resources, we hope to spread that feeling of belonging with others"
