Johnny Magory Books
Growing up in Ireland each and every night Emma-Jane’s Mammy and Daddy told her “a story about Johnny Magory”. These ‘made-up’ tales were usually derived from whatever sort of harm and devilment EJ had got up to that day and she couldn’t wait for bedtime for her mother to read a book and her father to tell her a story about what Johnny had done too! And thus was born Johnny Magory books. Johnny Magory’s purpose is to get kids outside exploring & connecting with nature and learning about Irish heritage & wildlife (but through lots of craic and grá!)
Lottie Dolls
Lottie loves Fall. Especially the changing colours of the leaves on the trees. Wrapped up warm in her cosy bunny coat, cute fox blouse, boots and jeans Lottie explores City Park with her new dog, kicking her way through all the crisp, colourful leaves! Based on the average proportions of a 9 year old girl (as opposed to an adult). Lottie Dolls are an age relatable doll that reflects the world kids live in.
