The Heart of Lily Whisker Co.

Hello. 

I’m Gareth, the founder and CEO of Lily Whisker Co. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our website and welcome you to the family.

Lily Whisker Co. didn't start in a boardroom; it started at home, inspired by my daughter, Lily. 

Lily is severely disabled and non-verbal, but her world is filled with an infectious joy. She loves picture books, and they became our bridge to communication.  I started writing for her—developing characters like Lily Whisker the Detective Mouse and Tony the T-Rex—to create a world she could participate in.

As someone with dyslexia, I spent years struggling to find my own voice. It wasn't until my diagnosis that I realised I just needed different tools to unlock my creativity. That discovery changed my life, and it’s the spark that built this company.

Today, we’ve grown into something magical: a blend of storytelling, music, and education. Our 'Create Your Own Storybook' programme is designed to help children articulate their deepest thoughts and feelings through art and imagination—long before they can master phonics or traditional prose.

As an educator myself, I built this brand to be a partner you can trust. We are here to make your life easier and to give both teachers and students the confidence to explore language in a way that is bold, inclusive, and fun.

We are just in our infancy, but the world we’re building is big. Explore our stories, listen to our music on all major streaming platforms, and see how we’re bringing out the best in young minds.

Get in touch with us today. Let’s bring a little more magic into the classroom—and the home—together.
