Pickletons
A bright garden of children’s stories—gathering picture books, fairytales, and adventures crafted by IGP authors, co-authors, and contributors. Pickletons celebrates imagination, curiosity, and the early joys of reading.
Pickletons is a children’s literature shelf featuring picture books, fairy tales, early readers, and imaginative adventures for ages 1–13. It is exclusively for IGP authors, co-authors, and contributors.
Because children’s stories deserve a whimsical home that feels playful, magical, and full of character—just like the worlds they create. Pickletons celebrates the joy and wonder of early imagination.
Only authors connected to IGP may be featured—this includes:
- IGP authors
- IGP co-authors
- IGP contributors
Submissions from authors outside IGP are not accepted.
Any child-friendly title written for ages 1–13: picture books, illustrated stories, early chapter books, educational stories, or imaginative adventures.
Yes. Books must stay appropriate for children and center on themes such as imagination, curiosity, courage, kindness, friendship, discovery, and emotional understanding. Mature or heavy themes are not allowed.
No. As long as the format is suited for the intended age group, authors may submit:
picture books
illustrated stories
early chapter books
short adventures
educational or story-based learning books
For books aimed at ages 1–7, illustrations are encouraged to support visual storytelling. Early readers and chapter books (7–13) may be primarily text-based.

Yes. Authors may include links to their official website, store page, or bookseller listings so readers can explore or purchase their books directly.
Not at all. Authors retain full rights. Pickletons only showcases the books—it does not claim ownership, royalties, or control.
Yes. Authors can request removal at any time. Re-featuring may depend on workflow and availability since the system is manual.
No, unless specially arranged. Each book links to the author’s official storefront or website. IGP does not manage sales for the shelf.

Not for this shelf. Pickletons is intentionally reserved for the IGP creative family. However, non-IGP authors may explore other submission pathways within IGP depending on their genre.
Together, Pickletons brings children’s literature to life—stories of wonder, courage, and discovery, each one lovingly created by the hearts and hands of IGP’s authors.
