At Tambo Teddies, we believe in celebrating stories. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a very special new chapter for someone who has long been part of our own story, Kiralee Sanderson.

Kiralee, a former director of Tambo Teddies who worked closely alongside Tammy and Alison, has officially stepped into the world of children’s literature with her debut book, The Most Magnificent Pot of Gold, and we couldn’t be more delighted.

Written under her creative venture, The Busy Little Bookshelf, The Most Magnificent Pot of Gold is a beautiful celebration of wonder, kindness, and the magic that lives in everyday moments.

This enchanting story invites little readers on a journey where imagination shines brighter than gold. With gentle storytelling and heartfelt themes, Kiralee reminds children, and the grown-ups reading along, that the true treasure isn’t something you find at the end of a rainbow. It’s discovered in connection, courage, kindness, and love.

It’s the kind of keepsake story families will return to again and again, perfect for cosy read-aloud moments, thoughtful gift bundles, and those quiet times when imagination takes flight.

Kiralee holds a very special place in the Tambo Teddies story. As a former director, she helped shape the spirit and direction of our brand during her time with us. A few years ago, she made the decision to step away from the business to embrace motherhood and pursue other long-held creative dreams. including writing children’s books.

Watching her bring this dream to life has been nothing short of inspiring.

Her four beautiful little girls, who many of you will recognise from our photo shoots and social media over the years, are often the quiet muses behind her storytelling. Their curiosity, imagination, and sense of wonder are woven gently through her work, making her stories feel authentic, warm, and deeply heartfelt.

At Tambo Teddies, we’re passionate about meaningful keepsakes, treasures that carry memories and connection across generations and The Most Magnificent Pot of Gold aligns beautifully with that philosophy. Just like our handcrafted bears, Kiralee’s book celebrates imagination, kindness, the wonder found in everyday moments, and the magic of connection. Beautifully illustrated by artist Georgina Hart, this charming story is perfectly suited to be read snuggled up alongside a beloved teddy, a thoughtful pairing that will become part of a child’s most treasured memories for years to come.

We are incredibly proud to support Kiralee in this exciting new venture and to share her storytelling with our Tambo Teddies community.
