Beatrice & Benedict is the children’s imprint of Diota Publishing. The aims and approach for the imprint is influenced by the French concept of parascolaire publishing where extracurricular learning is made more accessible and entertaining,  when everyday concepts and knowledge are introduced in a more engaging and fun way.

Beatrice and Benedict introduce stories with factual information stitched into the narrative, designed to support the exploration of age-appropriate areas of curricular subjects - maths, the sciences, literature, history, geography, art as well as helping to develop social skills, the benefits of co-operation in the family and with those we meet throughout life.
