Two Town Mice is an independent studio making children's picture books with warm watercolor textures, playful ink linework, and gentle pacing. We craft original tales for bedtime reading, classroom storytime, and the small quiet moments in between.

Each picture book from the studio starts with a small question a child might ask — about waiting, about the dark, about losing something dear. The answers come gently, through watercolor and ink.

From a single hand-drawn mouse to a shelf of picture books, our journey has been shaped by small moments and patient hands.
Two Town Mice began as a single watercolor mouse named Pip, drawn on a kitchen table for a bedtime story that never made it to print.
A local family asked us to turn their daughter's imaginary friend into a printed book. That project taught us how personal storytelling works.
Teachers began requesting printable companions to our books. We launched downloadable kits with coloring pages and gentle writing prompts.
We started offering print-ready layouts and character design services to independent presses looking for a handmade feel.
Our three-book series about curious mice and their forest neighbors found a steady audience in bedtime routines and library storytimes.
We now host small illustration workshops where children learn to draw their own characters and build simple story arcs together.
Share a few details about your child's favorite characters or a story idea you have in mind. We'll sketch a sample scene and map out the pages before you commit to anything.
