Can you tell us a little about your background and the company?
​
Green Bean Studios is a fast growing, global children’s IP entertainment brand based in Manchester, UK. Our first revenue stream was the Green Bean Collection®, a multi-award-winning range of children’s books and ECO toys which promote a love of the outdoors, kick-starts reading skills, and nurtures a love of reading in young children.
​
Our core pillars are earth, kids and community through which we promote sustainability and exciting ways for children to play, learn and go on fun outdoor adventures.
Over the past few years, we’ve built on the huge success of our popular collectable children’s book series, which is on sale in Waterstones nationally, by expanding our range of retail offerings year on year.

Dear listeners,

Tune in to this fantastic podcast 🎙️conversation with Anita Frost, Founder of Green Bean Studios.
This conversation with Anita tells the story of an evolving and growing business—entrepreneurs, take note! Surprisingly, it's also a must-listen for parents and grandparents—or as Anita says, "protectors of the legacy" of our children.
​
Anita highlights the serious threat to our children's social development and calls on guardians to take action in the corporate world, our local communities, and our families.

​Anita leads Green Bean Studios and is deeply invested in children. Last year, we won an award from KPMG and are now planning to expand in the US! The conversation explores the growth and strategy behind these achievements, as well as lessons from Anita's entrepreneurial journey.

Anita also touches on the seasons of growth that a business experiences, just as we humans do. It has certainly been a season of transformation for Anita. You won't want to miss this conversation!

It's been a fantastic National Storytelling Week for Green Bean and our friends! We've enjoyed visiting schools and libraries, and connecting with both new and existing fans.

Thank you to the schools, teachers, families and little ones who came along for storytime session with Multi-Award-Winning Author Anita Frost.

We were especially thrilled to have Sarah from Wigan join us this week. Sarah, who was born partially deaf, has learned Makaton and British Sign Language (BSL) through the NHS since she was two years old. We're excited to announce that Sarah will be joining the Green Bean team this year as a Precious Moments Ambassador. She'll be supporting our fans at storytime by accommodating children and parents with additional learning needs and teaching all children about different forms of storytelling.

​Green Bean™ is one cool character. Green Bean™ loves to be outside and is passionate about taking care of the environment. Independently he is a sweet little plush toy with dangly arms and legs your little one will never want to let go of. ​

​Testers liked the quality and material of the toy and the size of the​ bean
meaning it was easily held by even the smallest of little ones. ​
