"That's quite a story," said her mother. "It's not a story, it's true!" said Josie.
James Hywel has written over thirty children’s books.
His beautiful stories remind us of that special magical gift we all possessed as children - the gift of imagination. It allowed us to create worlds where anything was possible.
No wonder children have taken his delightful characters into their hearts.
LATEST RELEASE

Albert Mouse Book for Schools Project
Let your school create its very own Albert Mouse book
As part of his giving back wish, James has launched the
Albert Mouse Book for Schools Project.
This amazing initiative allows primary school children to work with James to create their very own Albert Mouse story.
Not only that, but James Hywel Books will publish the story into a real book that will be part of the actual Adventures of Albert Mouse series.
The value to the pupils
This very special experience allows pupils to follow every aspect of the book-writing process, from creating a book title, writing the story and even doing the illustrations.
Hopefully, the pupils will see how easy writing is, and maybe some of them might even be inspired to become authors when they leave school.
The value to the school
This initiative can also raise much-needed funds for the school.

James Hywel Books goes Dyslexia Friendly
We have decided to use Dyslexia Friendly Font in all our books from the end of May 2024.
According to the British Dyslexia Association, "Dyslexia influences at least 1 in 10 people and is a genetic difference in an individual's ability to learn and process information. Over 6 million individuals in the UK have dyslexia and may not have received a diagnosis."
Books showing this grey sticker will contain Dyslexia Friendly Font.
This sticker has been specially designed for people who are influenced by Dyslexia. It has a pale but not white background with a high-contrasting font colour and of course, that font is Open Dyslexia.
