The Milly, Molly books are translated into more that 40 languages and are written for children up to the age of eight. The stories relate to the adventures of two little girls from different ethnic backgrounds, along with their multi-cultural friends. All the books promote the acceptance of diversity and the teaching of life-skills, captured in a simple motto, We may look different but we feel the same. The stories deal with the kinds of questions and trials that children face every day and offer understanding in such matters as honesty, respect for others, difference, respect for nature, bullying, forgiveness and acceptance of difference. All stories are beautifully illustrated.

The Milly, Molly stories are being published in Maltese as well as the original English version in the same book. In this way the books could be read in Maltese as well as in English.
