Mini Mindfulness

Effy, her Heart Dragon Draggle and Star the white wolf sharing a story together

Join Effy and her special friends, Draggle the Heart Dragon and Star the white wolf, on adventures filled with imagination, little discoveries and room for every feeling.

Effy Dragon-Heart is inspired by my young daughter’s courage on her medical journey. What began as a gift for Effy has grown into a world of brave little steps, special friendships and love that stays close, with stories to walk beside other little hearts as they find their own way.

Made with love, shared with gratitude

I will be forever grateful to the nurses and the whole team who cared for Effy. Every book and card deck is lovingly handmade, and all profit goes to The Grand Appeal, which supports Bristol Children’s Hospital, including the ward that looked after her. Sharing them is my way of saying thank you and giving something back.
