Chronicles of a Curious Mind
We believe curiosity is the foundation of all creativity. Every Friday, we create a new story that helps children explore the world around them.
Where did the sixth sense go?
Meet North, a shiny brass compass with a very sensitive red arrow, as he joins Detective Headquarters to track down the most elusive sense of all - the one you can't see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. A warm, quietly clever story about intuition and the invisible pull that guides you from the inside.

Where is tomorrow?
Join Theodore and the very serious Reginald - Expert Tomorrow Hunter - as they attempt to track down, trap, and catch tomorrow once and for all. A quietly brilliant story about the nature of time, why today always matters more than we think, and the best thing to do with right now.
How are thunderstorms made?
Meet Swoop, a daring red kite with a weather instrument and excellent posture, as he flies straight into a storm to find out why lightning always brings that enormous boom. A crackling adventure through superheated air, sound waves, and the surprisingly simple science behind thunder.
Why is the sea salty?
Pep is a sturdy wooden pepper grinder with a miniature tasting ladle who accidentally swallows a wave of salty ocean water and immediately demands to know why the sea tastes so over-seasoned. A surprisingly delicious adventure up a mineral-packed mountain, down a rushing river, and all the way back to the world's biggest mixing bowl - in search of the greatest recipe nature ever invented.
How do I see things?
Zoom is a large silver magnifying glass with a pink bubblegum handle who spots a sunbeam bouncing off an orange cat and immediately declares it a case worth solving. A surprisingly fast investigation into how eyes actually see things - through a jelly lens, a spark party, and one very busy brain screen.
Why do birds sing?
Ringer is a scuffed little walkie-talkie with a bendy antenna who picks up a massive vocal broadcast outside the window and declares it his most important mission to find out why birds sing every morning. A surprisingly busy garden adventure across three rival bird channels - territorial songs, soft long-distance calls, and one excellent megaphone of cold morning air - narrated through Ringer's very official Field Log.
How do we taste our food?
Miss Berry is a slightly squishy blueberry in tiny reading glasses, armed with a heavy science dictionary and a nervous suspicion that being delicious is a serious professional disadvantage. A surprisingly soggy adventure through saliva, bumpy taste buds, and one crackling nerve wire.
How do I smell things?
Honk is a soft pocket tissue in tiny hiking boots who suspects something extremely suspicious is happening near the cinnamon roll. A surprisingly scientific adventure through smell molecules, sticky nose hairs, and one crackling nerve wire - told entirely through Honk's very official Field Notes.
How do I hear things?
Sonar the fuzzy yellow tennis ball straps on his enormous headphones and marches straight into the ear tunnel - on the trail of a brand new sound. A surprisingly loud adventure through eardrums, tiny bones, and a purple snail shell full of dancing hairs, told entirely through Sonar's very official audio logs.
Where does my food go after I eat it?
Poppy the popcorn straps on her crash helmet and drops down the great pink water-slide - also known as the human digestive system. A delightfully gross adventure through stomachs, intestines, and one very grumpy puddle of stomach juice, told entirely through Poppy's five-star ride reviews.
Why do we feel touch??
Meet Nudge, a small rubber thimble with extraordinarily sensitive toes, as he ventures under the skin to discover how a single touch becomes a message your brain can read. A tingling adventure through nerve endings, lightning-fast signals, and the brain's very own touch commander.
Where does the water go when I flush?
Follow Scoop, a very determined submarine carved from soap, as he dives into the unknown and maps the entire hidden journey of water from your toilet to the treatment plant. A surprisingly fascinating adventure through the world beneath your bathroom floor.
What happens inside my head when I sleep?
Step inside a sleeping brain with Snooze, a meticulous filing clerk on the night shift, as he visits the hippocampus, the amygdala, and beyond. A quirky, illuminating journey through what your brain actually gets up to while you're fast asleep.
