Discover the world with beautifully illustrated travel and activity books for children
Spark your child's curiosity about the world - one city adventure at a time.
Napo Books is a collection of charming picture books that introduce children to cities,
cultures and landmarks trough imaginative stories, illustrations and discovery.
Follow Napo, a curious and lovable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel,
as he discovers cities, meets new friends and explores the world around him.
Through his adventures, young readers are encouraged to learn
about different places and cultures, appreciate art, develop kindness
and compassion, and nurture a love and respect for animals.
But Napo’s adventures do not end when the story is over.
Each of the three storybooks includes a special creative activity section
at the end, inviting children to pick up their pencils and
continue the journey through drawing and colouring.
EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL BOOKS
Read the story. Explore the world. Draw. Colour. Create.
Children can start their own City Sketches drawings alongside Napo! The fourth book, Napo’s Adventures Activity Book, is dedicated entirely to creative activities, with more than 70 pages of drawing prompts and imaginative challenges.
Napo Books transforms reading from a passive experience into a creative adventure — inspiring children to use their imagination, express themselves through art and see the world with curiosity, kindness and compassion.
Napo is a curious Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves art, travel and discovering new places. Together with his friend Allegra,
he explores famous cities, their landmarks and authentic cultures, helping young readers build confidence, creativity and a lifelong love of learning.
Looking for a meaningful gift for a curious child? Napo Books combines storytelling, art and geography to help children discover the world from the early age and start drawing.

GIVING BACK
At NapoBooks, we believe every child deserves the joy of drawing.
That’s why we donate books to orphanages and support children with Down syndrome and
autism, while collaborating with children’s charities around the world.
Sharing stories, spreading smiles —
one child, one book at a time.
We have partnered with K1 Britannia Foundation and AJC Children's Foundation,
and sent shipments to children in St. Martin and Honduras.
We are looking for sponsors and partners to help us bring Napo's adventures to even more children around the globe.
If you’d like to be part of this mission, we’d love to hear from you!

Why Parents Love Napo Books
Reviews
“Napo in London" is a delighful book! The illustrations are vibrant and colourful, perfect for capturing young readers' attention. It’s educational, just the right amount for children. I like the subtle messages woven trough the story - they never feel preachy.
The geographic references highlight London's famous landmarks in a fun way, as Napo and Freddie explore the city and grow closer as friends. It's adorable! I also appreciate the activities section, filled with simple, fun projects that make the book more interactive.
It's a great way to get children involved. A story is lovely, there is something special about feeling like you are part of it too! You really start to feel like Napo's friend by the end!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed 'Napo's Adventures in London'.
The author does a fantastic job of describing landmarks,
like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, making it both
educational and enjoyable for younger readers.
Marta Grigorieva is an incredibly talented artist, and her work really shines in this book. Napo is absolutely adorable - cheeky, happy go lucky, a little mischievous, but alway charming.
I especially loved the twist where Napo travels back in time
and learns an important lesson... but you'll have to read the book to find out what happens!"-

The Orphanage Book Project:
The Grace of Giving with Napo -
Spreading Joy Through Art and Imagination.
"In a world where far too many children grow up without the warmth of their own storybook, the Orphanage Book Project by Napo Books shines as a beacon of creativity and compassion. Conceived by the gifted painter Marta Grigorieva, this initiative transforms art into a source of happiness and wonder. At the heart of the project is Napo, a curious and spirited Cavalier King Charles Spaniel whose illustrated adventures invite children to dream, imagine and explore. These playful yet purposeful stories are designed to nurture imagination, teach empathy and inspire young hearts to find beauty in the world around them. Through Napo Books, we share this joy by donating books to charities and orphanages around the world, so underprivileged children can enjoy fun activities with Napo - drawing, colouring, learning about geography and famous landmarks - and, most importantly, feeling loved and valued. Each Napo Book allows children to sketch, colour and take part in storytelling. But beyond art and play, the books carry a profound mission - to reach children in orphanages across the globe who might otherwise never experience the simple joy of owning a book of their own."
