Meet the Characters

Step into the world of Belle Rose Cottage and meet the characters at the heart of The Tales of Belle Rose Cottage.

Created to bring warmth, wonder, and gentle connection to storytime, Barney, Bella, and Louie each bring something different to the world they share. Together, they help open up conversations around feelings, friendship, confidence, kindness, and the little moments that shape childhood.

Barney Bear

Barney Bear is clever, curious, and full of big ideas.

He is forever scribbling new inventions into his little notebook and believes that everything worth doing is worth doing perfectly. But Barney is also learning something important: that love and kindness matter more than getting everything right. He reminds little ones that it is safe to try, safe to wobble, and safe to ask for help.

Bella Bunny

Bella Bunny feels everything deeply.

She is the one who notices when someone is sad before they have said a word, who will find you, hold your paw, and stay until you are smiling again. Bella carries a great deal of heart, and her story is about learning that caring for others and caring for yourself can both be true at once. She reminds little ones that their feelings are real, and that sensitivity is never something to be ashamed of.

Louie Lion

Louie Lion is bold, joyful, and absolutely certain he is the Protector of the Cottage.

He rushes into every adventure with energy and confidence, filling every room with warmth and noise and laughter. But underneath all that bravado is a lion who simply wants to know he belongs. His story is about discovering that he always did.

Together in Belle Rose Cottage

Barney, Bella, and Louie are not just characters. They are a world in the making.

Their stories are designed to sit alongside children at the moments that matter: bedtime, big feelings, new friendships, and the quiet ordinary magic of growing up. Each book in The Tales of Belle Rose Cottage creates something to treasure at storytime, and something that stays with a child long after the last page.

This is only the beginning.
