My son always draws us the same height, side by side, smiling, in bright colours, and almost always with a big red love heart next to us ❤️

This little masterpiece now sits on my work desk, quietly reminding me of an old saying:
“A boy’s first love is his mum, and a mum’s last love is her son.”

I really hope we stay best mates forever. 🫶

Soft rhythms, gentle repetition, and a little mystery… 💚
Where is the Green Sheep? has a way of pulling little ones in and holding their attention right to the very last page.

We loved bringing this beautiful story by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek to life with a calm AI reading — perfect for wind-down time, cuddles, and quiet giggles.

Because sometimes the simplest stories become the most magical moments ✨
And that final sleepy surprise? Always worth the wait.

Some stories just wrap around your heart 🤍

“Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes” is a gentle reminder that no matter where we’re born or how we begin, we’re all a little bit the same… and equally loved 🌍✨

And then… there’s your baby 🥹
The one that makes it all feel even more special.

Save this for a quiet cuddle and read tonight 🤍

Today was so special 💚✨
I loved being part of Nowruz in the Piazza and introducing my books to so many beautiful families.

Sharing the story of Nowruz, talking about our traditions, and seeing children connect with the magic of Persian New Year truly meant a lot to me 🌱

In moments like this, you really feel the power of community — culture, connection, and belonging all in one place.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported, and shared this day with us 🤍
