"Stories that spark connection. Books that build hearts."
At Booyah Books, every page is an invitation to feel seen, safe, and truly loved. These are stories you'll return to—like favorite lullabies or soft blankets—because they help kids grow not just in knowledge, but in heart.
We’re Yvette and Marcel—two lifelong storytellers on a mission to make childhood feel magical and deeply loved, one book at a time. We believe stories don't just entertain—they empower hearts, shape values, and build the emotional muscle of our future leaders.
Every story is crafted with love, designed to help children feel seen, valued, and deeply connected to their families.
Our books seamlessly weave Social-Emotional Learning into engaging narratives that build emotional intelligence.
Stories that create precious moments of connection, turning bedtime into a celebration of love and growth.
Our debut book that's already touching hearts and transforming bedtimes across the world.
What if your child knew they were deeply, unshakably loved—every single day? In this tender, beautifully illustrated story, Lilly the Lamb explores the many shapes of love—from warm words and helping paws to the quiet comfort of simply being there. Through her journey, children discover that love isn’t just something we receive—it’s something we carry inside.
"This book has become our nightly ritual. My daughter asks for 'Lilly' every single night, and I love watching her face light up with understanding and joy."— Sarah M., Mother of 2

Here's what families are saying about Booyah Books:
"As someone who's always been fascinated by urban art, this book was a revelation. Farkas's 11-year documentation project captures not just stunning images but the authentic voices behind Toronto's graffiti evolution... What impressed me most was the balanced approach - acknowledging legal issues while humanizing the artists."
"This book is an absolute gem. A three-year-old granddaughter was captivated by the sweet story and beautiful illustrations. It's simple, engaging, and perfect for young children. The second half is a wonderful bonus full of insightful, gentle guidance for raising emotionally aware kids."
"My granddaughter loves the color pink and could relate to the story. It opened her eyes to the thought of how her favorite shade mixed with other colors makes the color pink beautiful. The book is well written and the pictures are bright and cheerful."
"This unique book is part storybook, part guide for parents and guardians. The story of Lilly the lamb takes us through her barnyard encounters and how she discovers different kinds of love languages. The illustrations are sweet and colorful, great for young listeners or readers."
"This is a beautiful and meaningful children's book. It is not only visually stunning, with bright, simple, and eye-catching illustrations, but it's also full of heart. The book gently introduces children to the idea that love is all around them and can look different depending on the person."
"This book is different from everything I have ever read, it is truly unique... In her book she took me to illegal encounters in subway tunnels as well as to secret meetings with rebels who prefer to be unknown... You are amazing and your book is a gem of art itself! 7 stars out of 5 - if that was possible."
"Loved Like Lily is a wonderful children's book that teaches about self-love. A four-year-old daughter loved it. It's simple, a short story, engaging, and perfect for little ones, plus the illustrations are beautiful and vibrant."
"This book is a really great story, but more than that, it's a great coaching book for parents who need ideas to help them affirm their children and teach them about healthy ways to show love. It is designed to help teach kids about healthy relationships and healthy ways to show love."
