Every great adventure begins with a curious little nose…
Maxie Can Smell Cheese is a beautifully illustrated picture book that introduces young readers to Maxie, a small but brave mouse with an extraordinary sense of smell—and a big love for cheese.
When Maxie catches the scent of something delicious, he sets off on a cosy but courageous adventure that leads him beyond what feels safe and familiar. Along the way, Maxie learns that being curious, trying new things, and believing in himself can lead to wonderful surprises.
Told with gentle humour and warm, expressive artwork, this story celebrates curiosity, quiet bravery, and the joy of following what excites you—even when it feels a little scary.
Perfect for the home, classroom, or library, Maxie Can Smell Cheese is more than just a story—it’s an invitation to be curious, to explore, and to take small brave steps into the world.
