Welcome to Elm Creek Adventures

At Box Book Publishing, we believe children’s books should be fun—plain and simple. In a world where so much content comes with a message, we’ve gone back to the basics: wholesome stories filled with humor, heart, and just the right amount of mischief. Time and again, we’ve heard from parents who are craving stories that don’t push an agenda, but instead spark imagination, laughter, and a love for reading. That’s exactly what inspired the new Elm Creek Adventure series.

This charming series follows Josie Kate Jenkins, a spunky, brave, and outspoken girl growing up in the small town of Elm Creek. Josie Kate has a knack for stirring up innocent trouble—whether it’s chasing a squirrel in a colander helmet or dreaming up wild schemes with her best friends—but it’s her kind heart that always shines through. Along the way, she learns important life lessons about friendship, honesty, kindness, and respect, all while having the kind of down-home adventures kids love and parents can feel good about.

Every Elm Creek Adventure Book features a Lessons for Life section at the end, that recaps some of the important character and life lessons that can be learned from the story. We believe this encourages positive character traits and values in children.

The Squirrel Showdown is the first book in this new series and is now available on Amazon. Our second book, The Back to School Pageant Party, is coming soon!!
