Imagine Press NZ

An independent New Zealand children’s press

Stories written with heart, imagination, and gentle intention.

Imagine Press NZ is an independent children’s press founded by Corazon Ramos — created as a home for stories that nurture emotional wellbeing, curiosity, and quiet confidence.

At its core, Imagine Press NZ believes that stories can be a soft place to land. They can comfort, reassure, and help children make sense of their feelings and the world around them. Each book is written slowly and thoughtfully, with care for both the child reading and the grown-up sharing the story.

Our stories

Books published under Imagine Press NZ are shaped by the same values that guide Heart Reads:

• emotional warmth
• imaginative storytelling
• gentleness and care

They are stories created to be shared, revisited, and held close, inviting moments of connection rather than rushing toward answers.

Published titles

My Crazy Cat

An early picture book that marked an important chapter in Corazon’s writing journey. My Crazy Cat celebrates imagination, playfulness, and the joy of seeing the world through a child’s eyes.

What Makes a Witch

What Makes a Witch follows a young girl on an enchanting journey to discover her inner magic. It is a story about curiosity, self-belief, and becoming who you are, reminding readers that magic doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

Looking ahead

New stories are always quietly taking shape.

Imagine Press NZ continues to grow slowly and intentionally, with future books in the works, each guided by the same belief that stories can comfort, connect, and gently support children as they grow.

A shared philosophy

Imagine Press NZ and Heart Reads are closely connected.

While Heart Reads curates meaningful stories from many voices, Imagine Press NZ is where Corazon’s own stories live, written with the same care, values, and intention that shape Heart Reads.

Thank you for spending time here. May these stories offer comfort, imagination, and moments to hold close. 🌸
