Head to our shop to pre-orderSay hello to Buff the Highland Coo and Strawberry the Shetland Pony. Each Buddy has a big heart, a curious mind, and a story to tell - inspiring little ones to be kind, brave, and wonderfully themselves.

Buff was a highland coo,
Who had grown tired of the big, cold hills.
He felt more at home amongst the flowers,
That's where he found his thrills.
Buff has a secret: when he gets MAD, he turns into Master Frumpy-Bum, causing a whole lot of havoc!
Strawberry was small and quiet,
But don't be fooled by her size.
She had a big heart full of love
And a mind that was very wise.
Strawberry has a secret, when she gets SCARED she turns into Little Miss Jumpy-Bum and can turn things all topsy turvy!

Big emotions happen, it’s how we choose to act that defines the outcome, be that for children or adults.
We wanted to combine our Indian and Scottish heritage by creating our own tartan, which is incorporated in our books.
This unofficial tartan is called the Caledonian-Bharatia, which represents ourdiverse heritage and thinking, as well as our purpose to “Be the Change.”
See if you can spot the Caledonian Bharatia tartan in our books!


More lovely imagery! Nights can be scary for children –indoors or outdoors. I like how you tackle this idea of fear while still showing such safety in the moment. Again, you show the plot progression perfectly. You introduce the scene, show the chaos, and then wrap it up with a lesson children will understand!
I love the lesson of the story and how you show such a lovely friendship. Even friends get frustrated sometimes. By having Strawberry show that not only can they solve the issue of the missing hat, but then having her come up with a solution so it doesn’t happen again, was a great moment! You give good imagery, maintain the rhyming throughout, and show the before, during, and after in terms of plot! Well done!
My kid loved The Lost Hat! It’s a cute, silly little adventure, and Buff and Strawberry are such fun characters. It kept their attention the whole time, and I liked that it was playful without being too complicated. Perfect for a quick, enjoyable read together it up with a lesson children will understand!
