What began as a real-life beachside discovery by a curious 4-year-old and her playful Grandpa has blossomed into "The Wavy Adventures of Mr. Piggles" - a beautifully illustrated children's book that celebrates the magic of storytelling, imagination, and the timeless bond between young and old.
How it began:
On a sunny afternoon, little Zoey stumbled upon a crayfish washed up on the beach. With Grandpa Gary's lively sense of humour and Zoey's vivid imagination, this small encounter turned into an epic bedtime tale, told and retold with growing adventures each night. Their whimsical creation, Mr. Piggles, became a beloved family character-his wavy journeys sparking laughter, wonder, and joy.
What makes "The Wavy Adventures of Mr. Piggles" unique is not just the story itself, but how it was born: a testament to how creativity knows no age limit. As Gary spun tales of Mr. Piggles' daring sea escapades, Zoey added her own delightful twists, crafting a narrative that resonated deeply with both young listeners and nostalgic adults. The result is a book filled with charm, humour, and the warmth of shared imagination.
Meet the Authors:
Zoey, now 7 years old, and Gary are thrilled to share Mr. Piggles' adventures with the world, hoping to inspire families to create their own stories together. The book is a celebration of the little moments that become cherished memories and shows how a child's wonder combined with an elder's playful storytelling can produce pure delight.
The talented illustrator, Alice Marrollo brings Mr. Piggles and his fishy friends to life. Through these colourful drawings, young and old are drawn into the story as they follow Mr. Piggles as he rides the tide.
