Kitty needed me, even if she didn't know it yet!

Kitty and I tells the story of the special bond that develops between a human and their Assistance Dog.

Children and adults can share in this beautiful tale of Kitty and Raffy's journey from their very first meeting, through to their becoming a team.

Their heart warming story also unfolds visually in the form of vibrant and unique artworks that illustrate, and bring to life, their journey together.

Nature play and mud kitchens are fun and a great way for kids to get creative outdoors. The Muddy Chef embraces the switch from screen-time to green-time, with outdoor play and mud kitchens being accessible to everyone with a bit of outdoor space, dirt and water.
