About Zrrrum
Where the thrill of real motorsport meets the wonder of childhood. Zrrrum was built for families whose hearts race when the lights go out — and for partners who believe that racing’s legacy should inspire the next generation.
Every story we create brings authentic circuits, cars, and racing heroes to life through imagination, art, and STEM discovery — helping kids and parents experience the magic of motorsport together.

What Makes Us Different
Zrrrum Studios LLC is an independent children’s publisher based in Virginia, founded by lifelong racing enthusiasts. Every circuit, driver, and team we portray is handled with respect, accuracy, and heart.
We work closely with professional illustrators, advisors, and real motorsport figures to ensure each book honors the sport’s legacy while staying approachable for families. Permission-based likenesses and authentic details are reviewed with the same care and precision that define racing itself.
For partners, that means peace of mind and a lasting legacy. For readers, it means magic they can believe in.
Our Story
Zrrrum began with a spark — a dad, two sons, and a question: Why isn’t there a racing world built for families like ours?
From that question grew a creative studio dedicated to blending authenticity and imagination. The result is The Max & Leo Racing Adventures — a series of picture books and STEM stories where a magical garage opens doors to the world’s most iconic circuits.
Each book captures the same feeling shared in living rooms and grandstands alike — the pulse of engines, the courage to try, and the joy of discovery in motion.
— Jesse Carpenter, Founder
Looking Ahead
From Texas to Monaco, deserts to mountain climbs — the world of Max and Leo is expanding, one circuit and one lesson at a time. Our mission is to celebrate racing’s past while inspiring its future engineers, storytellers, and fans.
We’re building bridges between racetracks and reading lights — between real motorsport legends and the kids who will dream beyond them. Because every story begins with a spark — and every lap carries a little magic home.
