The Fairies - Petal & Nettle and The Best Story Ever

Kirstie Watson

Welcome to the magical world of Petal & Nettle! The NEW book in the award-winning series! When Nettle sets out to write the BEST story EVER, there’s just one problem - he doesn’t know what to write. His mind has gone completely blank! Thankfully Petal and the other fairies are there to help him find inspiration. The trouble is, they all have brilliant ideas and like different things. How can he possibly write ONE story that everyone will enjoy? A funny, uplifting tale about the magic of self-belief, trying your best, and not worrying about what other people think. The story is magically brought to life through the beautiful illustrations by the super-talented Tilia Rand-Bell. Perfect for ages 2-6 and those who love fantastical tales such as Julia Donaldson's The Singing Mermaid or The Witch's Cat also by Kirstie Watson. Includes a download link to a FREE printable activity pack for use at home or school. The book is great for reading aloud, snuggly bedtime stories and conversations about creative writing, self-belief, friendship, using your imagination and story-telling.

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.
