Books that don't look away.
Bare & Brave Publishing is an independent UK press founded by Emma Rogers — someone who got tired of books that flinch.
Two catalogues, one mission: content honest enough to actually help. The Big Stuff tackles the conversations kids need and adults avoid — body safety, big feelings, bullying, peer pressure — written with warmth, not lectures. The journal catalogue (Brave Work + Bare Truth) is for women doing the real work — ADHD, anxiety, burnout, identity — no shame, no perfect answers, no toxic positivity.
If it matters and nobody's saying it properly, it's probably a Bare & Brave book.
Picture books and chapter books for ages 3–10, tackling body safety, big feelings, bullying and peer pressure — honestly, warmly, without lectures.
Guided journals for women navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout and identity — built to meet readers where they actually are. No shame, no perfect answers.
