It’s been a year since the release of Miss Felicity’s Hat, a book about the beauty and power of nature and the enduring influence of an inspiring educator. Thank you for supporting this little Darwin publisher by purchasing a copy and celebrating grassroots writing, illustration and teaching! Due to its popularity, Miss Felicity’s Hat continues to be available at our fab local bookshop The Bookshop Darwin and of course online here.

Love you all 😍.

Children love to bring treasures from nature for their their favourite teachers and educators. Miss Felicity was famous for her feather collection, having received feathers from generations of children at her school in Darwin! With feathers, flowers or simply words, let’s say thank you to those super special humans who care for and educate our little ones, bringing out the best in them through time, energy and love. Tomorrow, Friday Oct 28, we celebrate World Teachers’ Day in the Northern Territory. There’s never been a better time to show our appreciation! 🪶👒🌸🙏🎉

💜💚REVIEW TIME💗❤️

“My children are huge fans of Smidgin books! The bright illustrations are really engaging and the stories themselves are full of fun, and usually have special messages about caring for the environment and embracing creativity. The books make for great birthday and Christmas gifts - I even like to get them for new babies to contribute to their book collections from the get go!” - Annika Finch, Melbourne 🧚‍♂️👒🌿
