At Ryland Peters & Small we are proud of our catalogue of wonderful books, among them a comprehensive range covering pregnancy, parenthood, children's health, and childhood, not to mention the more practical aspects of parenting ( including cooking enticing and healthy meals for kids and decorating the family home to benefit both children and adults). From the moment you learn you are expecting a baby there are myriad new and exciting things to consider, from the mother's health to the baby's early development and simply preparing emotionally to become a parent. It can feel overwhelming, but help is at hand from Ryland Peters & Small.

Our books and stationery cover every aspect of parenthood. Expert authors, including doctors, health specialists and nutritionists, offer sound and straightforward advice, and there's reassurance from those who have done it all before - other parents - something that sets our books apart from the rest is their visual appeal; top stylists and photographers have produced fabulous pictures to inspire you and act as a starting point for your own ideas.

Pregnancy is a precious time for women. Blooming Gorgeous and Marvellous Motherhood give invaluable guidance on emotional, mental and physical well-being during pregnancy and after. Our beautiful journals (including the bestselling My Pregnancy Journal and My Baby's Journal) make great gifts for anyone who is expecting a baby. The range makes it easy to record every memorable moment of pregnancy, baby's early months, and a child's health to the age of ten. Our New Baby Notecards, presented in a smart square box with pretty coloured envelopes, are perfect for announcing a new arrival and make perfect baby shower, congratulation or thank-you cards.
Preparing for a new arrival means decorating the nursery. In true Ryland Peters & Small fashion, our stylists and photographers offer original and beautiful inspiration for children's spaces, whatever type of home you live in - from compact city flat to country farmhouse. From Babies' Rooms to the Teen Zones, learn how to create the perfect family home. Cooking appetizing and nutritious meals for children can be a challenge if you have picky eaters, as can entertaining children when you're at your wits' end during the school holidays. We have the answers with cooking and baking books for parents and children to use together, cookbooks for busy mums and dads who want to make supper that everyone will enjoy (and eat), and fantastic children's party ideas and crafting projects for children of various ages.
