Our Philosophy
Stowaway Press
Stories You Can Cook. Adventures You Can Keep Stowaway Press is the storytelling heart of The Great Global Table—the little imprint where Captain Craig (“Cap”) and his story mouse Huber turn real‑world adventures into books, letters, and goodies families can hold in their hands.If TGGT is the table and the Defender is the truck, Stowaway Press is the map.
What Is Stowaway Press?
Stowaway Press publishes Cap & Huber’s Global Adventures—a cozy, old‑world style book series where kids and families:
- Travel the Clipper Trail with Cap & Huber
- Visit new places through food, maps, and letters
- Meet Ohana, pets, and hidden villages like Winterton
- Learn that service, kindness, and curiosity are real‑life superpowers
Every story is built to be read aloud, cooked from, and talked about around the table.

Our Clients
Who Stowaway Press Is For
- Families ( Ohana ) who love reading together and trying new recipes
- Teachers & librarians ( Kumu kula ) looking for warm, story‑driven ways to teach geography, culture, and social‑emotional skills
- Kids ( Keiki ) who like maps, animals, food, and the idea that a mouse might be quietly running the show
Why We Do It
Stowaway Press exists so that:
- Keiki can travel the world from their kitchen table
- Ohana can build small rituals—a chapter, a recipe, a letter—around connection
- Stories, food, and service can quietly teach what matters:
kindness, courage, paying attention, and making people feel at home
