🦁 The Larry Brand Bible

The DNA of
You Can Do It, Says Larry!™

This is not a style guide. This is the permanent foundation of the Larry brand — the source of truth for every decision, every word, every image and every interaction, forever.

Brand Purpose9 Core ValuesVisual LanguageWriting Style20-Year Vision

The Larry Brand Test

"Will this help a child believe in themselves?"

If the answer is no — don't build it.

01 · Brand Purpose

Why Larry exists

Larry exists so that every child — no matter their background, ability or circumstance — hears the words "You can do it" and believes them.

We exist to build a world where children grow up brave, kind and confident. Where trying is celebrated more than winning. Where every child knows they matter. Where failure is just a step forward. Where the loudest voice in a child's life says: "I believe in you."

This purpose is timeless. It will not change with technology, trends or markets. It is why we were founded. It is why we will endure.

Brand Mission

To help every child discover their own confidence through stories, activities and encouragement that celebrate effort, kindness and courage — not perfection.

Brand Vision (20 Years)

To become one of the world's most loved children's brands — a household name across 30+ countries, reaching 5 million families, with books and a global foundation that changes how a generation of children see themselves.

Brand Promise

Every interaction with Larry should leave children feeling that they are capable, valued and brave — and that trying is always worth it.

Larry's Personality

Larry is a warm, brave and endlessly encouraging lion. He is the friend every child deserves — the one who believes in you before you believe in yourself. He is playful but never silly. Wise but never preachy. Brave but never fearless — he gets scared too, and he tries anyway.

Larry always says

You can do it!

I believe in you!

Let's try together!

Every step counts!

Trying is winning!

We're braver together!

Amazing effort!

Keep going!

Larry never says

Failure

Wrong

Bad

Impossible

Lazy

Stupid

Hopeless

You can't

02 · Brand Values

Nine values. One child. Every time.

These nine values are the moral compass of every story, activity, badge and interaction. Every decision must serve at least one.

Confidence

Value 01

Definition

Believing in yourself — not because you're the best, but because you're brave enough to try.

Why it matters

Confidence is the foundation of everything. A confident child tries, learns, grows and eventually leads. Without it, potential stays locked inside.

On the Website

Every page, every activity, every story reinforces the message: 'You can do it.' Progress bars, badges and celebrations all build visible confidence.

For Parents

Praise effort, not outcome. Say 'I'm proud of you for trying' — not 'I'm proud you won.' Let children make choices and respect them.

For Teachers

Create classrooms where every voice is heard. Celebrate attempts, not just correct answers. Use 'yet' — 'You can't do it yet.'

Courage

Value 02

Definition

Doing something even when you're scared. Courage isn't the absence of fear — it's trying anyway.

Why it matters

Every great thing a child will do requires courage. We help them practise it in safe, small ways so it becomes part of who they are.

On the Website

Daily missions include 'Be Brave' challenges. Stories feature characters facing fears. Badges reward courage specifically.

For Parents

Don't rescue children from every struggle. Let them feel the fear and try anyway. Then celebrate the courage, regardless of outcome.

For Teachers

Encourage children to attempt hard things. Normalise mistakes. Share your own moments of being brave and trying again.

Kindness

Value 03

Definition

Small acts that make someone else's day better. Kindness is a superpower everyone has.

Why it matters

Kind children become kind adults. Kind adults change the world. It starts with one small act, one small moment, one small child.

On the Website

Every daily mission includes a kindness option. Kindness Corner is a dedicated location. Kindness badges are the most rewarded.

For Parents

Model kindness openly. Let children see you being kind. Talk about how it felt. Make kindness a family value, not a chore.

For Teachers

Create a culture of kindness in the classroom. Use compliment circles, kindness bingo and peer recognition. Never tolerate unkindness.

Resilience

Value 04

Definition

When things go wrong, trying again. Setbacks are steps forward, not reasons to stop.

Why it matters

Life will knock every child down. Resilience is what gets them back up. It's the difference between giving up and growing.

On the Website

When a child doesn't succeed, Larry says 'That's okay — let's try again!' No failure states exist. Ever. Every attempt earns something.

For Parents

Let children fail safely. Don't fix everything. Ask 'What could you try differently?' Let them feel the setback and the comeback.

For Teachers

Normalise mistakes. Share your own. Use 'What did we learn?' instead of 'What went wrong?' Reframe setbacks as data, not defeat.

Curiosity

Value 05

Definition

Asking 'why?' and 'what if?' Wonder is the beginning of everything worth learning.

Why it matters

Curious children become lifelong learners. They ask, explore, discover and grow. Curiosity is the engine of confidence — because learning builds belief.

On the Website

Discovery Woods is dedicated to curiosity. Activities encourage questions. Stories end with 'What do you wonder about?'

For Parents

Answer questions patiently — even the hundredth one. Say 'I don't know — let's find out together.' Curiosity thrives when it's safe to ask.

For Teachers

Reward questions as much as answers. Create wonder walls. Let children explore topics they love. Curiosity-driven learning sticks forever.

Friendship

Value 06

Definition

We're braver together. No child should face big feelings or big challenges alone.

Why it matters

Friendship teaches empathy, sharing, listening and belonging. Children who have friends are more confident, more resilient and more joyful.

On the Website

Friendship Meadow is a core location. Group activities earn team badges. Stories model friendship, conflict resolution and inclusion.

For Parents

Facilitate playdates. Model friendship. Talk about being a good friend. Let children see you being a good friend to yours.

For Teachers

Build classroom community. Use group projects. Teach active listening and inclusion. Never let a child feel alone in your class.

Respect

Value 07

Definition

Valuing every person exactly as they are. Different backgrounds, abilities and beliefs — same worth.

Why it matters

Respect creates a world where every child belongs. It's the foundation of kindness, friendship and a just society. We model it in everything.

On the Website

Every illustration includes diverse children. Stories feature characters from all backgrounds. Language is always inclusive.

For Parents

Model respect in how you speak about others. Challenge stereotypes. Celebrate differences openly. Your child is watching.

For Teachers

Create inclusive classrooms. Use diverse materials. Challenge bias. Ensure every child sees themselves represented.

Belonging

Value 08

Definition

Every child deserves to feel they matter — that they are seen, valued and part of something bigger.

Why it matters

Belonging is the deepest human need. A child who feels they belong is confident, resilient and kind. A child who doesn't, is none of those.

On the Website

Larry's World is a place every child enters and belongs. The passport is their proof. Every child is welcomed by name.

For Parents

Tell your child they matter — specifically and often. 'I'm glad you're you.' Create family rituals that say 'you belong here.'

For Teachers

Greet every child by name. Create belonging rituals. Ensure no child is invisible. Notice who's missing and include them.

Helping Others

Value 09

Definition

Using your strengths to make someone else's life better. Helping is how children discover their own power.

Why it matters

When children help others, they discover their own worth. Helping builds confidence, empathy and purpose — all at once.

On the Website

Daily missions always include 'Help Someone.' Kindness badges are earned through helping. Stories model characters helping each other.

For Parents

Give children real responsibilities. Let them help — even imperfectly. Say 'You really helped me' and watch them grow.

For Teachers

Create classroom jobs. Pair older with younger. Let children teach each other. Helping is the best learning.

Every page, every interaction, every word must make a child believe in themselves a little more.

Rule 02

Celebrate Effort

Praise trying, not just succeeding. The attempt is the achievement. Always.

Rule 03

Encourage Curiosity

Invite questions. Spark wonder. Let children explore, discover and ask 'why?'

Rule 04

Support Parents

Give parents tools, guidance and confidence. They are the real heroes. Treat them as such.

Rule 05

Help Teachers

Equip teachers with ready-to-use resources that save time and amplify their impact.

Rule 06

Make Children Smile

Joy is not optional. If a child doesn't smile during an interaction, we haven't finished yet.

The Larry Brand Test

"Will this help a child believe in themselves?"

Every future decision — every feature, every product, every partnership, every word — must pass this one question. If the answer is no, don't build it.

No exceptions. Forever.
