A little bookshop filled with a whole lot of magic.

From story readings and craft mornings to little hands getting creative, excited faces discovering new books and the many special moments in between.

This past year has been about so much more than books. It's been about creating a space where children can explore, imagine, create, learn and simply enjoy being children.

There have been plenty of lessons, a few challenges, lots of laughter and so many moments that remind me exactly why I took this leap.

I'm so grateful to everyone who has walked through our doors, supported our little shop and become part of the My Magic Words story.

Here's to everything we've created so far, and all the lovely things still to come.

Thank you for being part of our magic.

ONE WHOLE YEAR! 🥹🌈📚

On 1 November 2025, I officially took over My Magic Words. And just like that, today marks ONE YEAR of being the owner of this very special little bookshop!

What a year it has been! A year filled with new ideas, exciting moments, big plans, plenty of learning, a few challenges, lots of books, endless creativity and so many lovely memories.

There have been story readings, school visits, craft mornings, birthday parties, new products, new faces and so many little moments that have made this journey so special.

I'm incredibly grateful to Nicola for building the foundations of My Magic Words and for entrusting me with something that already meant so much to so many people. ❤️

To every customer, family, school and little book lover who has supported me along the way, thank you! Whether you've popped in for a book, joined a craft class, booked a party or simply followed along on our journey, I appreciate every bit of support.

It's been a year of finding my feet, putting my own little touches on the shop and dreaming about all the possibilities still to come.

Here's to one year down and many more years of stories, creativity, friendships and a whole lot of magic! 🌈✨

With love, Abi x

*A little Christmas magic is on its way to My Magic Words!*

There's something extra special about snuggling up with your little ones and sharing a Christmas story. The twinkling lights, the excitement of Christmas morning, and those stories that become part of your family's traditions, year after year.

We're giving our Christmas books a little clean-up and getting everything ready for you to discover a beautiful collection of festive stories for your little ones!

🎁 *OUR CHRISTMAS BOOKS LAUNCH ON TUESDAY, 3 NOVEMBER AT 9AM!*

A few little things to keep in mind when shopping our Christmas collection:

🎄 Payment is by cash or card only. Store credit cannot be used.
🎄 Books cannot be reserved or kept aside.
🎄 All books are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you're dreaming of adding a little extra Christmas magic to your bookshelves this year, we'd love to welcome you into the shop to find your festive favourites!

We can't wait to share this little bit of Christmas magic with you!

A little bit of reading, a little bit of creating, a little bit of learning… and a whole lot more to fall in love with! 🌈✨📚 Come and see what’s waiting for you at My Magic Words. 💛

When was the last time your little one got to meet the person behind the story? 📚

There is something special about children discovering that the stories they love come from real people who create them!

This Saturday, we're bringing a little of that magic to our bookshop as we welcome local author and teacher Janine Hoffman for a reading of Bernie Buffalo.

And because so many of you are wanting to support Janine, we've managed to open up FIVE extra spots!

A morning of stories, a special author visit and a Bernie Buffalo iced cookie for your little reader. What a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning!

R35 per child | Saturday at 10am
