Manuscript Pen Company launched its Lionheart Collection in 2019, with an assortmentof arts and craft products for children. Since then, the stationery brand has created an animation series aimed at children aged three to five years old, which features on YouTube, to bring the characters to life. Children can witness the excitement of Lionheart Town first-hand and discover all the wonderful characters that live there, go on adventures and learn a special message as 'each episode focuses on a key theme and includes a strong moral message to educate children in a fun and engaging way.

Charlie Stockbridge, managing director at Manuscript Pen Company, said: 'We have had a strong foothold in education with our Lionheart Collection since 2019 and have made good headway towards encouraging creativity and mindfulness for young children and believe The Lionheart Tales will positively build on this.

'Following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was vital for us that we created a fun and engaging animation series which positively promotes diversity and inclusivity and introduces children to different family types and personal characteristics that they may be able to identify with.'
