Sometimes the sweetest gifts come straight from the heart…
Maxie and the Cheesecake Surprise is a beautifully illustrated picture book that follows Maxie, a kind-hearted little mouse, as he tries to make a very special birthday surprise for his mum.
After the success of his first adventure, Maxie returns with a brand-new tale filled with love, determination, and a few unexpected challenges. When Maxie decides to bake a cheesecake all by himself, things don’t go quite to plan — and a cheeky cat named Cali may have other ideas!
Through gentle humour and cosy, expressive artwork, young readers are taken on an emotional journey about trying your best, coping with frustration, and discovering that effort and love matter just as much as the result.
Perfect for the home, classroom, or library, Maxie and the Cheesecake Surprise is more than just a story — it’s a comforting reminder that mistakes are part of learning, and that kindness always counts.
Available now in full colour, paperback, on Amazon.
