My youngest is a Gemini. Chatty, curious, always dragging you into some imaginary world she's invented. When I found The Zodiac Tales, I honestly couldn't believe how well the books captured her — and when I gave her The Tale of Charlotte and Christien, the Curious Deer, she carried it to school for a week straight.
If you're wondering which book to choose for the child in your life, here's a straight-talking guide based on each zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): The Tale of Cosmo, the Adventurous Sheep
Cosmo is a sheep who can't sit still — and honestly, most Aries kids will recognise themselves immediately. This one's for the child who's already asking "what are we doing next?" before they've finished breakfast. Bold, energetic, and always first to try something new.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): The Tale of Santiago, the Strong Bull
Santiago's story is slower, warmer, and rooted in loyalty and determination. Taurus children tend to be the ones who see things through — who keep going when others give up. This book speaks to that quiet strength in a way that feels genuinely affirming.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): The Tale of Charlotte and Christien, the Curious Deer
Two characters, one brilliant adventure. Gemini is the twin sign, and this book leans right into that — celebrating curiosity, connection, and the joy of discovering the world with someone by your side. Great for kids who thrive in conversation and love finding out how things work.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): The Tale of Calypso, the Creative Crab
Calypso is imaginative, sensitive, and sees beauty in things others overlook. If your child feels things deeply, gets lost in creative play, or has a tender heart you're always trying to protect — this is their book. It's a genuinely lovely read for parents too.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): The Tale of Apollo, the Fiery Lion
Apollo is all heart. Brave, warm, and the kind of character who naturally draws people in. Leo children are often natural leaders — not because they demand attention, but because people just gravitate to them. This story reflects that beautifully, without making it about ego.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): The Tale of Aster, the Loyal Bear
Aster is thoughtful, steady, and the friend you can always count on. Virgo kids often go unsung because they're so quietly dependable — Aster's story gives that quality the spotlight it deserves. It's a great one for a child who puts others first and needs to see their own value reflected back to them.
