    For parents & educators

    Books that start conversations.

    Simple stories can create useful openings for children to notice, name and discuss what is happening inside and around them.

    01

    Read together

    Stories designed for shared reading, repeated favourites and calm moments of connection.

    02

    Talk naturally

    Gentle themes give grown-ups an easy way into conversations about kindness, feelings and friendship.

    03

    Carry it forward

    The best message is one a child can recognise later in real life, at home, at nursery or at school.

    Made by hand

    Slow pages, made with patience.

    Every picture in this book was drawn by hand, made slowly and lovingly, one page at a time. Many drawings were redrawn, changed, and improved along the way. Some pages took several tries before they felt just right. This story grew through patience, practice, and learning.Mimi Maple, on A Wobbly Hug

Drawing on more than seven years of teaching experience and the everyday adventures of childhood, Mimi writes books that children can simply enjoy while quietly opening the door to bigger conversations.
