When Pretty Girls Poured Tea… and Boys Wanted to Be Builders

That was the world Ladybird Books helped paint, but were they quietly reflecting Britain’s postwar values… or subtly reinforcing them?

We get Helen Day, the UK’s leading Ladybird book historian to unpack it all. From nostalgic collector to curator, Helen’s encyclopedic knowledge has kept the stories and artwork of Ladybird Books alive for generations.

Through exhibitions, articles, and her vibrant online community, she celebrates the artists, writers, and hidden history behind these iconic children’s books.
