Welcome to the Land of the Pinkles
Hidden in a secret African place, where the sun kisses the land and tiny magical beings called Pinkles flutter about, something unusual starts to happen… wrinkles begin to creep into their happiness. Dot, the bravest little Pinkle of all, tries to smooth them away — until she learns she can’t do it alone.
This heartwarming story takes children on a colourful adventure of courage, confidence, problem-solving and discovering the hero within — without giving too much away.
Dedication
To dearest mommy, Patti Joshua, whose endless love and imagination inspired the heart of this world. Your pet name for me — Pinkledot — will forever glow in these pages. Thank you for being the brightest star, and for filling life with magic.
