About LYLS World
At LYLS World, we believe the smallest moments often leave the biggest impression.
A bedtime story before sleep.
A quiet moment of gratitude at the end of a long day.
A simple reminder that encourages you just when you need it.
In a world that's constantly asking for our attention, we want to create products and experiences that invite us to slow down, notice the little things, and make room for joy, gratitude and imagination.
That's why LYLS World exists.
That's where our name comes from. LYLS stands for Let Your Light Shine - a reminder that the light we bring into the world often grows through the moments we choose to create, share and remember.
Our Story
Hi, I'm Rachel.
My Christian faith has always shaped the way I see creativity. Not as something to keep to myself, but as something that can encourage, uplift and serve others. While LYLS World is for everyone, that belief continues to influence everything I create.
I’ve always loved creating. With a background in the creative arts, television and education, my interests lived in separate places for years—writing in one corner, design in another, children's learning somewhere in between. Eventually, I realised they were never separate at all.
They were simply different ways of doing the same thing: creating meaningful experiences that encourage, inspire and bring people together.
LYLS World became the place where all those creative passions finally found a home.
Today, LYLS World brings together everything I love creating. From children's stories and learning resources to gratitude journals, inspirational gifts and everyday reminders that encourage people to let their light shine.
For Adults
Life moves quickly.
It's easy to overlook the ordinary moments that often become the most meaningful.
Our LYLS and Gratitude collections are designed to gently encourage you to pause, reflect and appreciate the little things. Whether it's writing in a journal, wearing an encouraging message or choosing a thoughtful gift for someone else, We hope each product becomes a gentle reminder to pause, appreciate the little things and bring a little more light into your day.
We're not here to add more noise. We're here to add light.
For Kids
Welcome to LYLS Kids, home of Benny Bear and the Woodland Friends.
Through our Woodland Friends book series, Storytime videos, preschool learning content and audio stories, we create gentle experiences that help children learn through curiosity, imagination and play.
We believe children don't always need brighter colours, louder sounds or faster-paced entertainment.
Sometimes they simply need a warm story, familiar characters and space for their imagination to grow.
Our aim is to create content that's engaging without being overwhelming, helping children learn while creating calm moments that families can enjoy together.
Looking Ahead
LYLS World is still growing, and we're excited about everything that's to come.
Whether you're discovering a Woodland Friends story, starting a gratitude journal or finding an encouraging gift, we're so grateful you've found your way here.
Whether you're here for yourself or someone you love, thank you for being part of the LYLS World story. We hope that whatever you discover here reminds you to let your own light shine.
