Children's Book Author, Argyro Graphy

Argyro Graphy is an award-winning Canadian author and creator of Bentley Hippo® and Bentley Hippo Books. Her engaging, character-driven stories empower young readers with essential life skills, like empathy, patience, perseverance, and acceptance, wrapped in fun, heartwarming adventures.

 

She is also the creator of Bentley’s 30-Day Kindness Superstar Challenge, helping children identify ways to show kindness. Argyro’s mission goes far beyond the bookshelf. With more than 10,000 books donated to children in need, she actively searches for opportunities to create a big impact in her community and beyond.

 

After earning top accolades in corporate leadership, Argyro shifted her focus to children’s publishing, creating books and programs that build resilience, confidence, and compassion in children. She not only mentors children; she also creates custom books for schools, fundraisers, and special events.

 

Argyro chose to turn obstacles and challenges into something positive. Today, her work encourages children to embrace kindness, inclusivity, resilience, and what makes each of us wonderfully unique.

 

A challenge doesn’t prevent you from doing something—it just means you must find a different way to achieve that same goal.

And when asked about her plans for Bentley Hippo, she smiles and says:

“I don’t have plans for him—he has plans for me!”
