Shines Press was founded on the belief that children’s literature can be both beautiful and meaningful. We create books that combine the magic of classic fairytales with a modern approach to education and personal development. Our mission is to craft stories that stay with readers, inspire imagination, and encourage wise choices — for both children and their families.
Shines Press is an independent publishing house based in Warsaw, Poland, specializing in high-quality children’s books. What sets us apart is our attention to detail: thoughtful editing, carefully developed visual design, and narrative craftsmanship in which every word matters. We believe that books have the power to illuminate the imagination, evoke emotion, and help young readers better understand the world around them.
Our flagship series is Piggy Penny™ / Świnka Grosik™ — a heartwarming tale about a porcelain piggy bank who not only solves mysteries but also teaches children the value of money, responsibility, and good decision-making. The series blends elements of fairytales with a gentle touch of financial wisdom, presented in a light and engaging way. Piggy Penny™ wins the hearts of children with her kindness, courage, and curiosity, while parents appreciate the meaningful lessons woven into the story.
At Shines Press, we believe that books can shape the future. That is why every title is created with the intention to support children’s growth — their imagination, their dreams, and their ability to make thoughtful, confident choices. These are stories that entertain, teach, and inspire, leaving the world a little brighter.
We warmly invite you to explore our publications and the magical world we create with passion and care.
