Mini & Milo
Big Skills for Mini People
Published by Walker Books, the Mini & Milo series follows the adventures of two best friends – Mini the elephant and Milo the rabbit – as they navigate friendship, big emotions, self-doubt, miscommunication and everyday childhood challenges.
These are not “sit down and learn a lesson” books. Because, let’s be honest, kids already get told what to do enough.
The stories are funny, playful adventures children genuinely enjoy reading – while quietly building emotional intelligence and social skills they’ll carry with them forever.

Some of the biggest things children learn in life aren’t taught in a classroom.
Things like handling disappointment. Navigating friendships. Managing conflict. Believing in yourself. Bouncing back after things go wrong.
What if children could learn these important life skills without even realising they were learning them?
That’s the idea behind Mini & Milo.

What our Readers have to Say
My granddaughter was thrilled to receive this for Christmas. One of her favorite reads. Bought one for her birthday too.
I highly recommend The Big Flappy Ears.
The Teeny Tiny Voice is a sweet, relatable and helpful exploration of the subconscious mind.
Will ensure children love spending time with this pair and learn plenty of things along the way. Problem solving, working together and how to be a supportive friend are at the heart of Mini and Milo’s story.
The text is succinct and delightful; the illustrations are absolutely charming. I loved every word, every illustration, and every page of Mini & Milo: The Big Flappy Ears. It is a treat for all ages to be enjoyed for its message and its endearingly sweet humour.
Because there will always be times we all need to work out what we are feeling, and children’s books can be a safe and judgement-free way and place to do this, and the simplicity can really help readers find out how to talk about what they are feeling.
