Say hello
A question about a book, an idea for a custom agenda, a note from a nursery or school, or simply hello: choose a topic and the little helper will tell you what is useful to include.
Find the books locally
Every available Mimi Maple picture book can be bought direct from Mimi or on Amazon, and selected books are also stocked at a dance-school shop in Clacton-on-Sea, the academy the Begin in Motion planners were created for.

Each picture book also has a digital edition to read online. Prefer Amazon? The Miss Mimi Maple author page has the current editions and formats, including the Little Moments of Calm colouring book. The Twin Stories hardcover is coming soon, so start on the bookshelf to see what is available today.
Little ways to stay in touch
No newsletter to join and nothing to sign up for: just a few gentle ways to keep the stories going.
Follow along for new releases, book updates and behind-the-scenes posts.
If a book made a little heart happy, a short review on Amazon or Goodreads is a lovely way to say so, and it helps other families and classrooms find the stories.
Built a calm corner after reading A Wobbly Hug, or invented a BOING-É of your own? Tell Mimi about it through the form. The form is text only, so if you would like to send a photo, attach it to an email to mimimaplebooks@outlook.com instead.
Your story passport
As you explore the website you collect story stamps: peek inside a book, pick your feeling weather, try a Balloonie dance move, colour a picture, switch on warm night mode and more. There are 17 to find, and simply visiting this page earns the Friend of Mimi stamp. Look for the balloon in the corner of every page to open your passport.

Good to know
Three ways. Buy direct from Mimi in the shop: a little cheaper than Amazon and posted by Mimi, and nothing is charged on the website until Mimi sends a payment link. Read a digital edition online. Or visit the Miss Mimi Maple author page on Amazon for the current editions and formats. If you would rather browse in person, selected books are stocked at The Dance House Academy shop in Clacton-on-Sea. Start on the bookshelf to take a quick look at each story first; the Twin Stories hardcover is coming soon.
Personalised planners, yes. The Mimi Maple Studio creates custom agendas and planners around a real working life, from a personalised cover to the sections inside. The Begin in Motion planners made for The Dance House Academy are a good example of what a personalised planner can look like. Signed copies: yes. When you buy a paperback direct from Mimi in the shop you can ask for a signed copy with a short dedication. Direct copies are a little cheaper than Amazon and posted by Mimi, and nothing is charged on the website until Mimi sends a payment link. If you have a special request, send a message and ask.
Yes. The Studio's starting points already include designs for dance school, IT professional, entrepreneur, event planning and nursing & care, and your version can be different: tell Mimi the profession, colour direction and the sections you would actually use. See the whole Studio, or choose “Custom agenda or planner” in the message form.
Head to the printables on the Grown-ups page and press “Download PDF” on the one you would like: there are 9 to choose from, including the Create Your Calm Corner and Feelings Weather Chart sheets from A Wobbly Hug, the Balloonie and Bamboo glossary poster and the complete Begin Again teacher agenda. They are PDF files for home and classroom use, so please don't resell or repost them. Grabbing one also earns you the Printer stamp for your story passport.
Keep exploring
Browse the bookshelf to take a quick look inside every book, or step into the Playroom for games, colouring, a calm corner and more.
