Rufus finds more time

Astrid Schmitt-Bylandt

Have you ever been to Haste Hill? Yes, it’s really called Haste Hill. It is quite close to London, near a place called Ruislip. The area is so beautiful – it has truly magical woodland that you would never imagine existing anywhere so close to a big city like London. You will have to visit it one day and see it with your own eyes otherwise you might just not believe me. So, it is here, that a little squirrel called Rufus lives.

Sam and Soraya

Built by Sam & Soraya

In 2022 we welcomed our little twins into the world. Since then we have been building up our home library full of baby books to try and give our boys the best start.

While books with characters called Sam are found in bookstores and charity shops throughout the land, we struggled to find any books with Soraya, Jasper, or Xander.

This gave Soraya the idea to compile a list of books for new parents and then Sam decided to turn it in to a website.
