The Brighton Home
A porch with a warm-lit lantern, a kitchen table where everything gets talked through, a garden out back, and a workshop in the garage. Home is where every story begins and ends.
A modern American family
Stories you can trust.
Characters they’ll love.
Meet the Brightons — Mom, Dad, four kids, two grandparents, a shaggy dog, and Otto the family robot — in warm picture books about responsibility, family, and growing up well in a modern world.
Our promise
Parents get stories they can trust. Children get characters they love.
Warmly traditional
Responsibility, courage, gratitude, good neighbors, and honest work — shown through story, never preached.
Never preachy, never partisan
Values you can feel good about, in a brand that stays warm, family-centered, and welcoming to everyone.
Modern, not afraid of it
Robots, drones, and screens are part of childhood now — so we put human values right at the center of them.
Meet the family
One family. One town. Stories worth coming back to.
The Brightons are a recurring family you’ll get to know book after book — the opposite of forgettable, one-off picture books.

The world
Welcome to Brighton Hills
A warm small town on the edge of a big city — four real seasons, a lit porch, and the same beloved places, book after book.
The Town Square
A gazebo, benches, and the shopfronts of Main Street — Brighton Bakery, Maple Market, the Sunny Spoon. This is where Brighton Hills gathers.
Brighton Hills Library
Warm wooden shelves, soft reading lamps, and a window nook made for an afternoon with a good book.
The Brighton Diner
Booths, a counter with stools, and a slice of Grandma’s lattice pie under the glass. Sal is always behind the counter.
Our debut picture book — coming soon
The Brightons Move In
On a golden-hour moving day, the Brightons arrive at their new Brighton Hills home — and discover that a house becomes a home when everyone pitches in.
The heart of it: Family, neighbors & belonging
