Written for Every Child.

Little Lessons Media began with two brothers, one Halloween night,
and a reminder that the smallest moments can carry the biggest lessons.

Our Story

It all started with Matteo and Antonio. One Halloween, Matteo who’s dressed proudly as a pirate didn’t want his little brother Antonio tagging along in his bat costume. There were tears, frustration, and a big “he’s too little!” moment.

But by the end of the night, something shifted. Matteo realized that trick-or-treating was more magical when he included Antonio. That moment became the first spark of Matteo and Antonio’s Little Lessons.

As a dad, Paul wanted to create stories that didn’t just entertain but also reflected real sibling dynamics: the messes, the meltdowns, and the hugs at the end of the day. Stories that guide children through big feelings with warmth, humor, and heart.

Lessons in the Little Moments

At Little Lessons Media, we believe the smallest moments often carry the biggest lessons. Childhood is full of simple, fleeting experiences: a shared laugh, a bedtime story, a question asked with wide-eyed wonder. These aren’t just passing snapshots. They’re opportunities to teach, connect, and help children grow into curious, kind, and confident people.

We call them Little Lessons Moments: those everyday interactions that open the door to something bigger. Through our stories, illustrations, and resources, we shine a light on these moments so parents, caregivers, and kids can see the magic in them too.

Because learning doesn’t always happen in a classroom. It happens in the living room, at the dinner table, and in the quiet spaces in between.

Little Lessons Moments are reminders that every story can spark growth, every question can inspire discovery, and every small connection has the power to leave a lasting impact.

Little Lessons. Big Hearts.

At Little Lessons Media, we believe books can do more than tell stories. They can shape values, spark empathy, and help families connect.

That’s why every purchase supports children in foster care. For every book sold, we help support a child who deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported.

Because bedtime stories should comfort more than just the children who fall asleep to them. They should also comfort the children still searching for home.
