With children finding it increasingly difficult not to be miniature adults, what with BlackBerry-style gadgets and MP3 players for toddlers, there is nothing better than a good old fashioned book to bring them back to childhood reality. The soon-to-be released Chaf n’ Skaffs: Mai and the lost Moskivvy,written by Amanda Chin in collaboration with illustrator Luke Feldmann, is set to become a favourite amongst bookworms both big and small.

This limited edition work tells the tale of Mai, a young girl who has never ventured far from home and whose encounter with a lost mosquito, Moskivvy, takes her on an incredible journey to distant lands. Along with her friend Chaff, these three characters cross oceans, forests and clouds to help little Moskivvy find his family once again.

A touching tale that teaches children the importance of family, friendship and love, the book is packed with vibrant, colourful illustrations and incredible creatures. Feldman’s creations have been described as a blend of ‘the classic stylings of 1950s Disney with a modern designs sensibility’, whilst Desktop Magazine applauds the book as ‘the perfect conduit for Feldman’s imagination combining his waif like lasses and charming characters with the beautiful, yet unpredictable realm that is the unique Australian environment’.

As you follow the adventures of these three intrepid voyageurs, you can’t help but fall in love with the dazzling hues, exotic animals and intriguing storyline that splash the pages of this book.

So celebrate the true meaning of being a kid, and order a copy of this gem of a book for the little ones in your family.
