Meet Effie. Unlike her friends, she doesn’t want to bite people. Determined to find a better way, Effie experiments with flowers creating “haze” bottles. Sadly, her ideas are ignored at the midge conference and disaster strikes. But a twist of fate turns her spilled colours into something rather special!

Molly and Friends is a collection of stories based on family and friends who have been important in Molly Arbuthnot’s life. Each story shares morals for the world about courage, kindness and perseverance and collaborates with an associated charity.

“Molly Arbuthnott and Malgorzata Natanek have created an educational children’s book with true heart, featuring a unique main character, Effie, a midge with more than a smidgeon of courage and creativity.”
– Steven Crandell, author of A is for Amy
Molly’s done it again….Effie the Midge is a brilliant, beautifully illustrated little story of pluck and determination. Little beings, like Effie, can change the way others think and behave.
