The Guardians of Childhood Picture Books present William Joyce’s mythology of childhood protectors in a format designed for younger readers. These lavishly illustrated books distill the stories of the Guardians into shorter narratives that showcase Joyce’s artwork.

The collection includes The Man in the Moon (2010), which introduces the figure who watches over children from above; The Sandman (2012), about the guardian of dreams; and Jack Frost (2015), which tells the origin of the mischievous spirit of winter. Each book works as a standalone introduction to the Guardians world.
