"As a first time mum, nothing was scarier to me than becoming a parent.

I am blessed to have a big circle of family and friends, but as more and more women my age become Mums, I would see them struggle to hold on to who they were and get sucked into the baby vacuum so to speak! This thought scared me so when I was pregnant I vowed I wouldn’t get lost in a world of The Wiggles and endless repeats of the same tired children's books (although who doesn’t relate to the The Very Hungry Caterpillar, that book is the business).

This is how A B to Jay-Z (my other child) was born. As a hip-hop obsessed mum, I thought why not combine both my worlds to create something that parents and children can both enjoy. After all, I wasn't ready to sacrifice my Drake and Tupac Spotify playlists for Baby Shark remixes.

From the overwhelming response of my first book A B to Jay-Z, The Little Homie grew into the business it is today. Our purpose is to bring together parents and their children around thoughtful products created for the parent who isn't ready to leave themselves behind.

Being a parent shouldn’t have to be all diapers, Peppa Pig and sleep schedules, sometimes you need to spit some rhymes during story time to keep it real. Who's with me?" - Jessica Chiha
