Where words find their pictures, pictures find their stories, and the smallest adventures leave the loveliest echoes.
The creative home of Morven Marsh, author, and Angie Jenkins, illustrator.
FROM ANGIE JENKINS’S ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS
Some stories are for children, some are for adults, and some have a way of finding both.
A Toad’s Tale
A little toad. A very big adventure. And a story that may mean something different each time you read it.
A whimsical journey for young readers, with a quieter story waiting between the lines for the grown-ups reading alongside them. At its heart are courage, discovery, identity and belonging.
See Angie’s artworkOne brings the words. One brings the pictures. Together, they make a world worth wandering into.
Author & word-weaver
Morven writes with a love of layered storytelling, bringing nature, imagination and the deeper currents of life together on the page. Her stories invite young readers to explore while giving older readers room to discover meanings of their own.
Illustrator & visual storyteller
Angie gives the story its visual world. Her illustrations are an essential part of the journey, bringing the characters, atmosphere and moments between the words to life. The pages below offer a little window into her characterful, hand-crafted world.
It takes two kinds of magic to make a picture book: the story you can read, and the story you can see.
Just a few moments from Angie’s illustrations, selected to show the charm, colour and imagination that make this little toad’s world his own.

The loveliest stories grow with their readers. One adventure can be a joyful exploration of the world and, just beneath it, something quietly profound.
Follow a little toad out into a world of possibility, where every step brings discovery, the unknown is full of wonder, and finding your way is an adventure in itself.

For older readers, the same tale can open a gentle conversation about uncertainty, difficult moments, resilience and the sometimes winding journey towards knowing yourself and finding where you belong.
Some journeys stay with us long after the last page.
