A note from the founder
Drawing on my child development and business experience, I started Green Bean Studios as a business woman eager to address some of society's most important issues including childhood obesity, excess screen time, and children’s mental health. To get to the heart of the issue, I started looking at the key contributing factors. When children are exposed to too much tech, with little or no outdoor play, and reduced time outdoors at school and nursery, it negatively impacts their mental and physical health and wellbeing. In addition to children's health, the health of our planet is at the core of my business.
My aim is to help educate and inspire families globally to nurture the environment, enjoy the world's natural resources, and live healthier and greener lives. Children are at the heart of everything I do, and I'm passionate about creating books, toys, games, music and edutainment media that help children to develop key skills, educate, inspire, and enable their creativity to flourish. I'm proud to have created a brand and products that children enjoy and adore, and keep coming back to time and time again. Supporting young children with their learning and reading is incorporated into every aspect of the business; even TV shows can support this if done with the right intentions, and our plans to develop the Green Bean Collection stories into a children's animated TV series will have education and learning through fun at its core. -x- Anita Frost -x-

One mum who works in public health has told the team how valuable the brand has been to her family, particularly during recent challenging times: “We LOVE the Green Bean collection!
As a parent and also working in public health, I know how important it is to find books that engage children from a young age. These books certainly do that! All whilst conveying positive messages in a simple way, and sparking imagination. I would definitely recommend”.
