Meet Greg
Hi, I’m Greg McPhee.
Rising Cub Books began with a simple belief.
That stories can do more than entertain.
They can help children ask questions, start conversations and discover that they are not alone.
Every book is inspired by real moments, real families and the quiet lessons that stay with us long after childhood.
My hope is that somewhere, years from now, a grown-up says:
"When I was little, there was this book..."
Because sometimes a single story is enough to plant a seed that grows for a lifetime.
