Discover the Five Tales in the ‘Mimsy and the Pebbles of Time’ Series
Where rivers whisper, quiet magic shimmers, and every page invites a deeper way of seeing
Mimsy and the Pebbles of Time is a series of heart-awakening tales where wonder, kinship, and the Earth’s dreams live between every line. These stories remind us that the world isn’t quiet at all. When we pause, listen closely, and tend the Earth with love, it speaks—and something stirs inside us too: a forgotten part of who we are, wild and curious and very much alive.
Because nature isn’t just something we walk through—it’s where the beauty of the Earth meets the wildness in our hearts, and where the unseen thread of life binds us to all creation.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Nova Scotia, where sea cliffs kiss the sky and tides rise and fall like the Earth’s own breath, this unforgettable series invites readers of all ages to listen, to wonder, and to remember that…
…beneath the ordinary awaits a living, breathing Earth—alive with meaning, and longing to be seen.

In a forest where pebbles shimmer with wisdom and strawberries whisper yes, Lucca and Capri walk beside their grandmother Mimsy and Landvaettir—the long-forgotten protector who watches over wild places—as they discover nature’s quiet rule: always ask before you take.

Why Mimsy Matters
About the Author
Ida Covi is an eco-psychologist whose lifelong love of nature inspires every page she writes. As the creator of the Mimsy and the Pebbles of Time series, she invites children into a world where stones remember, forests speak, and magic is simply another way of paying attention.
Raised on a farm filled with animals and wild places, Ida grew up believing that nature is a companion, a teacher, and sometimes—if you’re very quiet—a storyteller. Her books help young readers rediscover that the Earth is alive with wonder . . . and waiting to be heard.
