For Publishers
A character system built
to cross formats.
Toley Ranz® isn't a single title. It's a character IP with a methodology spine. Picture books, activity books, plush, songs, and a live AI extension, all built on the BEFORE Framework™.
Formats ready to license
One IP, six doors in
Each format extends the same underlying logic, a child's earlier, quieter moment, into a different medium.
Picture books
Character-led stories that carry the BEFORE moment into a child's nightly read.
Activity & workbook line
Cue cards and workbooks that make the methodology hands-on for families and classrooms.
Plush & merchandise
A product line that already partially exists. Toley Ranz as a companion, not a logo.
Songs & audio
The character's voice, carried into audio: a natural extension of the psst-psst persona.
Conversational AI
A working AI extension that proves the IP scales beyond print, available to demo now.
Children's media track
A development path for Toley Ranz programming, grounded in the same framework.
The spine that holds the formats together
Every format, one logic.
Most character IPs are a look and a voice. Toley Ranz carries the BEFORE Framework™ underneath, so a picture book, a plush, and a chatbot all teach the same thing. That's what makes the catalog publishable across imprints, not just marketable as a single title.
The AI extension is the proof point.
Toley Ranz talks back. A working conversational AI, grounded in the framework and the story material, demonstrates that this IP scales into a digital product, not a promise on a slide. Publishing partners can demo it live.
