Testimonials

  • "The vibrant pictures were captivating and the story was so fun. It was such a cute story about using your senses."

    Brenda

  • "This book can be used to teach several different lessons or units. It could be used when teaching about the farm and farm animals. It would be a great way to introduce a lesson about the 5 senses in science. It could also be used in social studies to teach about helping others and being kind. It’s a very sweet and lighthearted book with lovable characters and beautiful pictures. Purchase a copy and see for yourself. Enjoy."

    June Miller

  • "It is a cute story with amazing illustrations. My granddaughter loves it. Perfect length for toddlers and pre K."

    Gail

  • "A great inspiration for children. Just the right amount of material to keep kids interested. The author seems very imaginable. Looking forward to future stories."

    Scott Barry

  • "One of the cutest and informational children’s books I’ve read in a long time. My littles really enjoyed it!"

    Gregory Klare

  • "This charmingly illustrated story is an excellent guide for children to learn how to use all of their senses, especially if one is not working properly. Since Milly's nose got blocked with skunk spray, she could no longer use her sense of smell to get around the garden. This could be equivalent to children who catch a cold and can't smell or taste their food. With the help of sweet friends, she finds her way."

    Hannah

  • "Sweet Millie the cute little pig along with her wonderful animal friends who help her regain her nose and her sense of smell. Wonderful adventure. The beautiful illustrations bring the story to life."

    Maul Romo

  • "Very cute story about a pig and the 5 senses and how to use them. The book could be helpful for a child who might be experiencing a loss of something due to an accident or illness. By using perseverance and other abilities though, the little pig finds a solution to gain back his sense of smell. Beautiful illustrations and lessons learned."

    Susan A

  • "Learning along the way is essential, offering insights and growth opportunities. The journey itself can be more enlightening than the destination. The journey helps us navigate challenges and enriches our experience and newfound wisdom and friendships. Great story about journey's lessons."

    Oxana Balke

  • "My kids LOVE farm animals and we couldn’t wait to read this one at bedtime. My two year old cracked up the whole time at the pig who lost his nose. Both my boys were so engaged and I loved that it had a moral, that it’s more about the journey than the destination. This will definitely be in constant rotation at our house!"

    Yvette Robinson

  • "This story had us giggling from the first page. Millie’s nosey adventure is pure delight, with a dash of silly and a whole lot of charm. Perfect for bedtime laughs, and the farm setting adds a cosy, familiar touch. Lissie gave it two thumbs (and a snort) up!"

I was reading recently and came across something that stuck with me—around 90% of a child’s brain develops by age five, and reading helps build the connections that shape learning, creativity, and emotion. I’ve heard it a lot: &ldq
