Hi! My name is Cherelle, and I’m the owner and illustrator behind Teeny Wishes.
I created this brand with the hope of offering a fun, vibrant range of illustrations and stationery made especially for children of colour.
Like many others, I believe it’s incredibly important for children to see themselves represented -
whether in books, artwork, or everyday moments like birthday cards.
My creative journey has taken me through musical theatre, photography, and, of course,
drawing - my everyday go-to.
When my nephew Lijy Pops (Elijah) was born, I was beyond excited.
I wanted to surround him with positive representation, but for four years I struggled to find
birthday cards featuring a Black boy that actually looked like him.
On his 4th birthday, inspiration struck. I decided to make my own card -
and the look on his face when he opened it was everything I needed to see.
That moment gave birth to Teeny Wishes.
For over six years, I’ve been carefully hand-crafting stationery, greeting cards,
and illustrations for Black children.
I also illustrate children’s storybooks and create personalised artwork -

All Teeny Wishes greeting cards are fun, colourful, handmade, and printed in the UK.
Thank you for supporting Teeny Wishes and helping bring more diverse art into the big wide world.
