The Under the Bed Monsters

Brand new childrens book series

About Us

About Us!

The Under the Bed Monsters is a new children's book series which launched in September 2017.


The book takes the familiar concept of a monster being under the bed and turns it on its head so instead of being scary the monsters are friendly,mischievous 

little beings !  


We follow the family of monsters on their fun adventures and put a comical spin on everyday activities that will bring delight to  everyone in the family, both young and a little older!


Every child has their own individual monster living under the bed, they just have to find it!

Created By Gaw Ward

I believe in family time, giggle's and reading before bed. I am a first time author trying to make sense of the publishing industry ( it doesn't make sense at all, not one bit)  
Aiming to create a whole series of children's books, getting more children to read and prove to my sons that they really can do anything that they want. I love Galway, playing soccer in the rain and my family just not in that order. 



Beautifully Illustrated by Kate Hughes

Co-written by Sarah Ward and her creative team!

Sarah is Gaw's long suffering wife! Over the past eighteen years she has had to put up with every crazy idea he has come up with (this book included). She is everything that he is not and brings to the project proper grammar and spelling, a sense of style that Gaw has never ever had and above all else professionalism. Her creative team are nine and five years old and have been invaluable with their ideas, enthusiasm and just general awesomeness and this book wouldn't be what it is without them!
