Mia My: a Danish indie author-illustrator whose gentle, rhyming picture books like A Tale of Life offer the youngest listeners warm, reassuring stories about friendship and not giving up.

Mia My is a Danish independent children's author and illustrator based in Copenhagen who writes hopeful, gentle stories for the youngest listeners. Having worked with children and families for many years, she brings a warm, reassuring touch to her picture books. A Tale of Life is a rhythmic, read-aloud rhyming fable in which Bear, Dog, Bird and Frog face life's challenges together and discover that true friendship gives them the strength to keep going, a quiet celebration of perseverance, kindness and not giving up. The Terrible Garden is a gently comic small-press tale of one thoroughly cranky mole and the garden that upends his day. Soft, characterful and comforting, her books make cosy bedtime shares for toddlers and pre-schoolers.
