Mimsy and the Pebbles of Time Series
Step into Mimsy’s world—where rivers dream and pebbles whisper Earth’s secrets
Because sometimes the smallest pebble holds the greatest secret
Lucca and Capri always believed the forest was just trees, streams, and rocks—until their grandmother, Mimsy, showed them how to listen with more than just their ears. Guided by her gentle wisdom, they discover that everything in nature has a voice: the wind weaving through branches, rivers whispering their journeys, and even the smallest pebble humming with stories—just waiting for the right listener.
With the help of Landvaettir, the ancient guardian of wild places, the children awaken something more magical than they ever imagined—a spark, wild and free, that has always lived inside them, waiting to shine and lead the way.
Mimsy and the Pebbles of Time is a five-book series of heart-awakening tales, where wonder, kinship, and the Earth’s dreams live between every line. These stories remind us that when we pause, listen, and care for the living world, we rediscover a part of ourselves—curious, untamed, and full of life. Because nature isn’t just something we walk through—it’s where the beauty of the Earth meets the wildness in our hearts.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Nova Scotia, where sea cliffs kiss the sky and the tides rise and fall like the breath of the Earth itself, this unforgettable series invites readers—young and old—to listen, to wonder, and to remember . . .
. . . that beneath the ordinary awaits a wild, breathing Earth—alive with meaning, and longing to be seen.

Why Mimsy Matters
Mimsy & the Pebbles of Dreams
Join Lucca and Capri on a wild Nova Scotia shore, where salty breezes tickle their cheeks and waves whisper secrets only the curious can hear. With their wise grandmother Mimsy, they are guided by Landvaettir—the mythical guardian of forests, roaring seas, and all wild creatures.
In this enchanted place, the children discover pebbles that hold the quiet wisdom of the Earth—filling their hearts with nature’s wonder, nurturing their dreams, and unlocking a wish for a wilder, kinder world.
Mimsy & the Mysterious Messenger Pebbles
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. Because every true gift from the Earth begins with a question—and ends with a quiet thank-you between two living beings.
Sometimes, the smallest pebble carries the biggest message.
Mimsy & the Pebbles that Make Hearts Grow
With Mimsy as their guide, Lucca and Capri meet the mysterious Landvaettir—the long-lost presence of the wild. Once known and now nearly forgotten, Landvaettir still remembers us, and waits quietly for those who remember her too.
Through her quiet presence, the children discover magical pebbles that help them see the world not just with their eyes, but with their hearts. They begin to realize that nature’s beauty stirs something deep inside—and the more we welcome it, the brighter it blooms, spilling over to fill the world with joy, wonder, and love.
Mimsy & the Pebbles of Wonder
Frogs throw midnight concerts and fireflies paint the sky as Lucca and Capri join Mimsy and the mythic Landvaettir on a quest to find the Pebbles of Wonder—stardust stones that make the whole forest twinkle.
With every giggle and glow, they discover a secret: When you really look, the very same moment can be ordinary—or luminous. The difference is the wonder we carry, the presence we bring, the attention we give, and the heart through which we see.
Mimsy & the Whispering Pebbles
With Mimsy’s wisdom and the watchful presence of Landvaettir—the ancient guardian of the land—Lucca and Capri are awakened to the idea that everything in nature has a voice: wind, water, even the smallest pebble, each one sharing secrets, just waiting for the right listener.
As they begin to hear the whispers of the wild, a spark awakens inside them—curious, untamed, and full of life—where the beauty of the Earth meets the wildness in their hearts.
