Welcome! Thank you for visiting our Brave Bilbuggie's Website. So what is a Bilbuggie you may be asking? The Bilbuggies are original characters that live in a tree house and have unique powers. The Brave Bilbuggies series is made up of five friends who protect the forest creatures, meadow creatures, and basically everyone from the mischievous evil that sometimes lurks about. The team is Ugi the bear, Bink who is a bumble bee, Kanip the dainty but fierce brontosaurus, Bubbles who is a container of bubbles, and Smiles, their rock friend.
All books are 32 pages, full color, offer positive moral messages, and have a rhyming flow from page to page.

The book range is great for kids 1 to 8 years old, but is fun for all ages. AND while the kids may love the books, we built the Online Store so children and adults alike can all enjoy something that The Brave Bilbuggies has to offer.

The Brave Bilbuggies is more than just one book, it is an ongoing series with the next few already in the making. Aside from the products in our store, we are also working to make a game out of the characters and online interactive applications. We also strongly believe in giving back and donating, which is why we have a page dedicated to raising money that 100% goes back to printing books and Bilbuggie's merchandise that is directly given to children at hospitals, schools, and after school care programs. Reading and our youth is very important, so we strive to make it fun and as most accessible as possible.
Where did the Brave Bilbuggies transpire from? The Creator and Writer of the series had a teddy bear waiting in her crib for her when she was born. The fresh to the world kid instantly fell in love with this brown stuffed bear and named him Ted. They had many adventures together over the years and to this day, Ted still lives with the writer, tucked safely next to her pillow every night. The character Ugi is an almost mirror image of Ted, Bink is based of a real stuffed animal brontosaurus that the writer got for Christmas when she was 4 (and also still has), Smiles is based off a childhood rock collection, Bubbles represents a loved ones favorite secret past time of bubble blowing, and Bink is the sweet bee who won't sting the writer's father because he is allergic. Their tales are adventurous stories the writer and Bilbuggies had together when she was a child.
Soooo, fast forward a couple decades later - the concept was there and the quest for the perfect illustrator began. Almost two years after the first book was written, the most amazing illustrator came and made the characters vibrantly flow from page to page. Now almost another year since the first collaboration about the book - the dream, the stories, and The Brave Bilbuggies are ready to come to life!
