The Green Bean Collection was developed by author and founder, Anita Frost. Combining her extensive professional experience in child development and business, with her passion for creativity and sustainability, Anita created this unique and highly collectable series of books, toys, and games for children.

The books centre around leading character, Green Bean - a fun, cool, genderless anthropomorphic green bean - along with six lovable friends in the fictional world of Adventure Dales. The stories are highly appealing and accessible for young children from birth, to preschoolers and primary aged children.

Edutainment is at the heart of our business, bringing joy and excitement to the process of learning and education through fun adventures. Each of the characters in the stories help to emphasise the importance of community and friendship, teaching the value of working together and respecting each other despite our differences.  ​
