Pass the Jam, Jim

Kaye Umansky

There's a big party on, and all the children have been given different jobs to do. All Jim has to do is pass the jam, but he's more interested in eating large amounts of it himself, as well as smearing it all over the walls and anyone unlucky enough to get in the way.

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.
