Martin King

Martin King creates warm, playful picture books for young children, inspired by everyday moments, imagination, and his grandson, Arlo.

His Pea & Carrot series helps children aged 2–5 explore big feelings through simple stories, gentle humour, and lovable characters. Each book is designed to support early emotional development, encourage empathy, and make storytime a calm, comforting experience for both children and parents.

Based in England, Martin writes stories that families can enjoy together, building confidence, connection, and a love of reading from an early age.

Inspired by the wonder he felt as a child (and now sees in his grandson), Martin hopes his books create those same magical memories for families everywhere... where stories come alive in a playful Story Playground.
