Meet The Imaginaries
Just beyond the edge of the path, tucked beneath the mossy logs and the canopy of the forest floor, lives a world most people walk right past. This is the home of The Imaginaries—the quiet protectors of the natural world, visible only to children and those who have held onto their sense of wonder.
Meet the Imaginaries is a vintage storybook brought to life by Philip and Monica Straub. Join Joy, our giant fuzzy friend Hugo, and a cast of eccentric woodland residents as they navigate the gentle, humorous, and heartfelt adventures of the forest floor. It is a cozy celebration of imagination, reminding us to step outside, look closer, and see that magic is always hiding in plain sight.
The Great Toe Grazing Incident
In our first chapter, "The Great Toe Grazing Incident," Joy the fairy sets out across the canopy to find her dear friend Hugo. But the forest is currently in an uproar—Hugo has accidentally grazed the toe of the highly dramatic Monsieur Sneed, and the massive giant has gone into hiding!
