Children's Books
Written by Jack & illustrated by his wife Natasha, The Carty's books carry the same warmth and lyricism you'll find in Jack's music. Tender, imaginative, and made with love.
The Two-nicorn
The newest addition to the Carty shelf – a whimsical, warm-hearted picture book about learning to loves the things that make you unique.
A wonderful gift for new babies, siblings, and anyone who loves a creature that's twice as magical.
The Love We Share
A tender celebration of the quiet, daily love shared between parents and children — the kind that lives in small moments: the holding of hands, the making of meals, the reading of stories.
Lyrical and warm, this is a book to be read and re-read, at bedtime and beyond.
Time to Rest
A lyrical lullaby of a picture book — the debut collaboration between Jack and Natasha. Inspired by the rhythms of settling small children at the end of a long, bright day, Time to Rest is poetic, gentle, and quietly beautiful.
The book that started it all.
Bring Jack to Your School
Jack is available for school visits, author talks, library events, and festival appearances. He combines storytelling, music, and a genuine love of books into sessions that children, teachers (and their grownups) remember.
