Ladybird to produce books based on preschool animation BRAVE BUNNIES

Glowberry, creator of the popular kids’ series BRAVE BUNNIES, and Big Picture Licensing (BPL), its exclusive licensing agent, have announced the signing of Penguin Random House as a strategic multi-territory licensee, joining DeA Planeta Libri as publishing partners.

A publishing team and series creators are already at work on the first series of books about the journey and adventures of the Brave Bunnies and their friends.

The first products to hit the shelves will be picture books, board books and little libraries, which will launch Easter 2022 around the world.

The deal was made with Ned Hartley, Commissioning Editor, Ladybird, who says: “We fell in love with BRAVE BUNNIES as soon as we saw it, and we knew that it would work brilliantly as publishing. We’re sure that these books are going to hop off the shelves!”

The contract with Ladybird, Penguin Random House Children’s UK is a crucial stage in the sequence of successful deals for the Ukrainian team, following contracts with Spin Master Toys Company, DeAgostini Publisher, and other internationally acclaimed companies.
