Stories close to our hearts, created for the little people who inspire us most.

It all began over ten years ago with TJ the Little Red Jeep, a story Tony wrote after taking his grandchildren on rides in their little red Jeep. Years later, the arrival of baby Benny inspired another story, and soon we realized that every little one in our family had a story worth telling.

Today, Southern Pines Books creates wholesome stories that celebrate family, imagination, adventure, and the moments that become lifelong memories.
