Philip McGuirkTHE COLIN AND SUSAN STORIES

INSIDE THE SERIES

A world where the smallest creatures can make the biggest difference.

Heartfelt stories for children and families to enjoy together and talk about long after the final page.

THE HEART OF THE STORIES

Life lessons. Lasting memories.

There's more to Colin and Susan's adventures than excitement and close calls. Along the way, the gecko family make new friends, learn to trust one another and discover important life lessons that children and families can enjoy talking about long after the story ends.

WHAT MAKES THESE STORIES SPECIAL

Four threads woven through every adventure.

01

Friendship

Good friends are there for the fun times, but they're also the ones who stick around when things get difficult. Colin and Susan soon discover just how much that matters.

02

Courage

Being brave doesn't mean you're never frightened. Sometimes, it simply means doing what you know is right, even when you're unsure how things will turn out.

03

Compassion

Not everyone is as they first appear. Through their adventures, the friends learn to look beyond their differences, offer a helping hand and give others a second chance.

04

Respecting the natural world

From the rocky shores of Gozo to the creatures that call it home, a respect for the natural world and the part these creatures play in this world runs through every adventure. The stories gently encourage children to take an interest in and care about the world around them.
