Chonky Boy Publishing is a small independent imprint making children’s books, family games, and playful little worlds for mindful families.
Small Worlds, Big Heart
We make projects for families who like a little humor, a little imagination, and a little emotional truth mixed into the fun. Some projects help kids notice their thoughts. Some turn family chaos into a children’s book. Some put a whole potluck dinner into a deck of cards.
The goal is simple: create books and games that help people laugh together, talk together, and remember that family connection does not have to be perfect to be meaningful.
Children’s Books
Stories with warmth, humor, imagination, and a little room for feelings.
Family Games
Tabletop projects built for connection, replayability, and friendly chaos.
Playful Worlds
Characters, objects, and ideas that feel handmade, human, and alive.
