What’s in a name?

STET is Latin for 'let it stand'. It's used by proofreaders to overrule a suggested edit. The babySTETs blog aims to give you the confidence to know what to do and what not to do as you venture through the world children's book writing, editing and publishing.

The White Rabbit of Inaba and Other Stories (The Japanese Folk Tales Children’s Collection)

PUBLISHING OCTOBER 2026

Step into a world of wonder with three timeless Japanese folk tales. A kind woodcutter’s lost rice ball leads to a magical reward, much to the annoyance of his greedy neighbour. A clever rabbit learns the cost of trickery and helps a bullied brother win the heart of a goddess. An elderly man’s generosity to six snowy statues is surprisingly repaid. Filled with warmth, mystery and gentle lessons, these stories celebrate kindness, honesty and the power of compassion.
