Read a little. Color a little.
A story to share, one scene at a time.
In The Storyhouse at Bramble Bend, Milo the mouse has an idea for a tiny woodland library. Fern the fox, Pip the hedgehog and Hazel the rabbit help turn it into a welcoming storyhouse, one thoughtful choice at a time. Then the rain arrives, and their good plan needs a better one.
Read a little, color a little, and follow the friends from their first idea to the books, garden pots and quiet corners that make a shared place feel like home.
