Lets first cast your mind to turn

Before you could think OR even could talk,
before you could run before you could walk

For eons our culture has been storytelling. As a practice, it is deeply intrinsic to the human condition. With roots that trace back to our most primal form. Stories warned us, guided us, excited us. They taught us what it meant to be human.

Today, they continue to serve as a powerful mechanism to carry culture and connect generations. Stories are vital in how we process and categorise experiences. They are laced in everything we consume. The words we read, the songs we sing, the food we eat, but their key value exists in their ability to shape understanding, private thoughts, and conversations.

Before we walk, talk, or even think – we are taught to communicate through story.

Before all these things you were first told a stOry.
It’s what allows us to see the WORld in it’s glory...

This is simply not only a children’s book rhyme,
It’s the celebration of a practice cultivated through tiME...

Helopino books was crafted with this simple intent; of celebrating the long-forgotten practice of oratory story-telling, reacquainting readers with the delight that comes from reading. This is why we think our books are best enjoyed when shared with another. Read it aloud, to your child, to a friend or even a pet!
