Parents, guardians, teachers

For grown-ups

The plain version: what we publish, how this site treats your child, and how to get the books.

What to know

What we publish

Books by Mary Akanbi for readers aged 8 to 16: the Crafted series of school stories, Chronicles of Legends, which retells real lives as graphic novels, and the Growing Up with God devotionals.

The stories are written from a Christian point of view. They deal with things children this age actually meet: being left out, being blamed, doing the right thing when it costs something.

How this site treats your child

  • Children cannot create an account here.
  • We do not ask children for a name, an email or a photo.
  • There is no advertising and no tracking that follows them around.
  • Anything sent to the book club comes from a parent or guardian.

Trainings for parents

Mary Kids Hub runs trainings for parents alongside the books. Leave your email and we will tell you when the dates are announced.

Buying the books

Every book can be ordered directly or through Amazon. Buying is for grown-ups: there is no checkout a child can complete on their own.
