Mia’s Nest is also been available as an audiobook with three other delightful stories as added bonus.

For all girls… and especially for girls with tangles in their hair 💛

Mia’s Nest is a Dutch Little Golden Book, published by Rubinstein in October 2014. It tells the charming story of Mia, a little girl whose hair is always wonderfully, hopelessly tangled. When her mother announces a visit to the hairdresser to have it cut short, Mia feels worried—and turns to her feathered friends for help. With a little imagination and a lot of heart, they search for a solution together.

The moment the incredibly talented Angela Pelaez Vargas shared her idea and showed me her beautiful pencil illustrations, I was completely enchanted. One look was all it took. With a son whose nickname in primary school was “bird’s nest,” I couldn’t resist writing Mia’s story. We were over the moon when Rubinstein embraced the project and decided to publish it as a Little Golden Book. A Little Golden Book! A dream come true.

In 2016, El nido de Mia, the Spanish edition of Mia’s nest, followed. Angela translated the story for Panamericana, a publisher in her home country of Colombia. Today, El nido de Mia is also available in the United States, sharing Mia’s story with even more young readers around the world.

Are you excited to find out how Mia solves her problem?
