“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
Albert Einstein
Early childhood is a wondrous, but brief window of opportunity, in which we can profoundly influence and uniquely shape our children’s development for their long-term gain.
Modern neuroscience can now help us to understand how children's growth and learning can best be supported - with a little knowledge, we can go a long way.
"When learning is purposeful, creativity blossoms. When creativity blossoms, thinking emanates. When thinking emanates, knowledge is fully lit."
A.P.J. Abdul Kalum

Floppi and Moon of Mimbalup by Sarah Rees

Floppi and Moon of Mimbalup

By Sarah Rees

£15.99 Paperback £21.99 Hardback

A beautifully illustrated fantasy adventure story for five – nine year olds, the perfect gift book for a birthday or Christmas! 

Floppi and Moon of Minbalup

‘Floppi and Moon of Mimbalup’ is stunningly illustrated chapter book for children aged 5 – 9 years. The story is set in a serene imaginary world where a medley of extraordinary beings, the Mimbals, live harmoniously together with endangered ‘refugee’ animals from Earth. The central characters are Floppi, a mystical Eriskay pony, and Moon, a kind, wise Fairy Girl.

Floppi, Moon and all the Mimbals care deeply for one another and for their plants, who, after all, have families, friends, ambitions, and feelings, just as we all do.

Life is calm and peaceful on Mimbalup.

Or it is, until something out of the ordinary happens…

Floppi and Moon of Mimbalup by Sarah Rees

In this first story from Mimbalup, Floppi and Moon, aided by their closest animal friends, go on an urgent rescue mission to help the proud Pine Trees of Waratah, tragically being destroyed by invading Humanders from Earth. With the trees in danger, all aspects of Mimbal life, culture and society are under threat, and it is down to Floppi and Moon to save them!

Percie Pocket

Percie Pocket is our much-adored little wild rescue rabbit. She lives outside during the day in an enormous outdoor enclosure in our nut orchard, along with her best friend Molly Moppet. At night, she and Molly come into our cottage, where they have their own bedroom – just to make sure they are always cosy and safe!!

Percie has her own Instagram page (though does not always have time to post, as she leads a very busy daily life digging burrows, running circuits and eating up her veggies!)
