Mack and his Mack Mind Children’s book

Introducing Our New Children’s Picture Book: Mack and his Magic Mind

We are beyond excited to share something very close to our hearts — our brand-new children’s book, Mack and his Magic Mind!

This project has been a true delight to create with my Husband, Andy. He has poured his heart into writing the beautiful rhyming story, while I brought the words to life through soft, watercoloured illustrations and the book’s layout design. Together, we’ve created a story that blends imagination with gentle guidance for little readers.

✨ What’s it about?

“Mack has a magic mind, it’s smart as smart can be.
It knows the biggest planets and the most colourful fish in the sea.”

But when Mack finds himself in line at his local café, something strange happens — his magic mind suddenly disappears! Left feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, Mack sets off to chase it down. His journey takes him through the park, across the beach, and even up a tree, but his magic mind is always just out of reach.

What Mack doesn’t realise is that the answers to calming down and finding his way are hidden in the very world around him. By slowing down and noticing the animals and plants he passes, Mack learns how to breathe, regulate his body, and bring his magic mind back home.

✨ Why this story matters

So many children (and adults!) know the feeling of being overwhelmed when faced with choices. Mack and his Magic Mind was created for all the little boys and girls who sometimes struggle to make decisions and feel the weight of anxiety.

The story is woven with gentle regulation techniques — simple, practical skills children can practice as they read along. And to make it even more helpful, the last page of the book includes easy techniques to guide little ones through feelings of overwhelm, offering parents and carers a ready to use toolkit to support calm and confidence.

✨ Why families will love it

This isn’t just a book to read once — it’s a story to come back to whenever your child needs a little help finding calm. Parents, teachers, and caregivers can use it as a bedtime story, a classroom resource, or a gentle guide during tricky moments.

It’s our hope that Mack’s journey will inspire children to pause, breathe, and notice the beauty around them — and in doing so, discover their own “magic mind.”
