Chrissie Hadfield and Anouska Wardale, the founders of Juvenis Books, are turning their extensive backgrounds in children’s residential care, education, and charity work into a groundbreaking venture. Drawing on their own experiences of neurodivergence as well as their work with Kirby Stephen Youth Centre and Reggie’s Cause, the dynamic duo is determined to help children navigate life’s challenges through engaging stories and interactive tools.
The pair explained that their inspiration came from witnessing firsthand the struggles that many children face. “We have seen firsthand how many children struggle with emotional regulation, inclusion, education, and hospital stays. That’s why we created Juvenis Books—a company dedicated to teaching real-life issues in a fun and accessible way.”
