For the parents
Hideaway Book
Let’s be honest, you don’t want your child to see you on your phone. But real life happens, and sometimes you still need to use it.
That’s where the Hideaway Book comes in. Handle the messages, e-mails, or scrolls that you need to, while your child just sees you holding a book, not a screen.
For the kids

A dreamy adventure built to last. With 26 thick, durable board book pages and hand-drawn dragon art on every spread, Drift: Journey to Mount Chilly is made for little hands and big imaginations.
Follow Drift and his dragon friends on their quest to reach a Mountain of ice cream — if they can keep him awake long enough to get there! A playful, rhyming story full of heart, humour, and just the right amount of mischief.
Hide the phone, reduce its impact.
We already know how addictive phones can be for us. Now imagine that same reward loop in a developing brain. Short attention spans, anxiety, overstimulation — this stuff starts younger than ever. And it’s not just about screen time, it’s about the behaviour we’re modelling.
From the very beginning, babies learn by watching us. When they see us using our phones, it quietly sets the tone — teaching them that screens are the default way to engage with the world. While research is still emerging, many experts believe these early cues could play a role in shaping long-term habits around attention and device use.
Set up your Hideaway Book
Prepare you Hideaway Book to perfectly fit your cell phone.
Step 1: Check Sizing

Step 2: Adjust Foam Boarder

Step 3: Add Foam Pads
Peel the backing off the adhesive foam pads and stick them inside the slot where needed for a perfect phone fit.
Step 4: Freely Use Your Device
Place your phone into the Hideaway book. Use it as needed, while modelling the habit of reading.

Hey, I’m Ember!
I’m known as the team’s leader. I like maps, missions, and making sure we actually get where we’re going — before Drift falls asleep again!
-
Heyo! I’m Blaze!
I may have the smallest wings, but I have the biggest brain. I like to ride on Fred’s back, crack the clues, and keep things fun. Oh, and sprinkles. Love sprinkles.

Hello... I’m Fred!
I’m the big, strong blue Dragon. I may be a little bit clumsy, but I carry Blaze, help the team, and always do my best. Just don’t ask me to climb fast!

Hi, I’m Drift!
I’m famous for my ability to find the best nap places; trees, clouds, sprinkles... so cozy! I might wander off mid-adventure, but I always show up when it counts.
