Milly and Molly are inseparable friends who constantly learn new things together about people, places and important values.

In this story, they are on a visit with BiddyBid who has ‘a garden full of secrets and a thing about forgiveness.” The children have a fantastic time of fun and discovery with her until they fall sick and BiddyBid thinks they might have eaten too many plums despite her warnings. The doctor clears the air as Milly and Molly forgive BiddyBid for her hasty and wrong diagnosis.

The Milly, Molly series of books (over 30!) are designed to promote healthy character and develop strong foundational values among children. 

Excerpt

She put foxgloves on their fingertips and said, “Now aren’t you grand?”

She held buttercup flowers under their chins and asked, “Guess who likes butter?”

She gave them each a grass soldier and they went into battle. “Let the strongest soldier win,” she cried.
