Terms of Use

Little Lantern Stories is a children's publishing brand creating stories, activity books, caregiver Insights, printables and other resources for children and families.

Our website is intended primarily for parents, guardians, caregivers, educators and other adults looking for stories and resources for children.

If you have questions about these Terms, you can contact us at: hello@little-lantern-stories.com

Unless otherwise stated, the content on this website belongs to Little Lantern Stories or is used with appropriate permission.

This includes, where applicable: - story characters and character artwork; - book titles, descriptions and related creative material; - illustrations and graphics; - Little Lantern Stories branding; - caregiver Insights and written articles; - activity materials; - downloadable printables; - website copy and original creative content.

Please enjoy and share our website, but do not copy, reproduce, republish, sell or commercially exploit our original content without permission.

Some Little Lantern Stories resources are provided as free downloads.

Unless a resource says otherwise, these materials are intended for personal, family or educational use.

You may print copies for your own household or for children you personally teach or care for.

Please do not: - sell the files or printed copies; - upload the files to another website or file-sharing service; - claim the resources as your own; - modify them for resale; - include them in a commercial product, bundle or membership without written permission.

If you'd like to tell someone about a Little Lantern printable, we'd love you to share the Little Lantern Stories webpage where they can download their own copy, rather than redistributing the file itself.

Little Lantern Stories Insights provide general ideas, reflections, activities and conversation starters for parents and caregivers.

They are intended to be warm, practical resources — not medical, psychological, developmental, therapeutic or other professional advice.

Every child and family is different.

Where you have concerns about a child's health, development, wellbeing or circumstances that may require professional support, please seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Tell Little Lantern allows caregivers to suggest questions, experiences and topics they would like us to explore.

Please avoid including children's names, school details, addresses or other information that could identify a child.

Submitting an idea does not guarantee that Little Lantern Stories will publish an Insight, story or resource about that topic.

It also does not transfer ownership of your personal story to Little Lantern Stories.

If you separately give us permission to anonymously share part of your submission, we may use or adapt the relevant portion in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We will remove identifying details and attribute an included contribution only as: — A caregiver who wrote to us

Joining the Little Lantern Club is voluntary.

Members may receive A Little Lantern Note, caregiver Insights, conversation starters, free resources, book news and other occasional Little Lantern communications.

You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option included in our emails.

Submitting a Tell Little Lantern topic, contacting us or downloading a free resource does not automatically enrol you in the Little Lantern Club.

Little Lantern Stories books may be sold through third-party retailers such as Amazon.

When you follow a link from our website to an external retailer, any purchase is made through that retailer and is subject to its own terms, policies, pricing, availability, delivery and customer-service arrangements.

Little Lantern Stories does not control third-party retailer systems or policies.

Our website may occasionally link to websites or services operated by other organisations.

We provide these links where we believe they may be useful, but we do not control external websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices.

Please use Little Lantern Stories and its interactive features respectfully.

You must not intentionally use the website to: - submit unlawful, abusive, threatening or harmful material; - attempt to interfere with the website's operation or security; - impersonate another person; - submit malicious code or automated spam; - use our forms for unrelated commercial solicitation.

We may remove submissions or restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our users or Little Lantern Stories.

We work to keep Little Lantern Stories accurate, useful and available, but websites occasionally contain errors or experience interruptions.

We may update, change, remove or improve website content and features from time to time.

Book availability, pricing and other information provided by external retailers may also change without notice.

Little Lantern Stories characters, illustrations, stories and associated creative worlds are important parts of our publishing work.

Nothing in these Terms gives permission to create or sell unauthorised books, merchandise, digital products, adaptations or other commercial works using Little Lantern Stories characters, artwork or original content.

If you would like to discuss licensing, educational use or another form of permission, please contact us.

Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use information.

Where the website asks for consent — including Little Lantern Club subscription or permission to anonymously share a caregiver contribution — those choices remain voluntary.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Little Lantern Stories is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss resulting from use of, or inability to use, this website or its general informational resources.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We may update these Terms as Little Lantern Stories grows or as our website and services change.

When material changes are made, we will update the date shown at the top of this page.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, subject to any consumer rights or other protections that may apply under applicable law.
