Scruffy Muffy and the Apples That Let Go
Muffy lives in the middle of a fruit orchard — not beside it, not near it, but right among the trees.
As the apples grow heavy and the orchard begins to change, Muffy notices what others might miss: the quiet waiting, the careful letting go, and the way things can feel different even when nothing is wrong.
Scruffy Muffy and the Apples That Let Go is a gentle, beautifully illustrated picture book about change, patience, and learning when it’s time to let go. Set in a sunlit orchard of apples, pears, and stone fruit, this story invites children to slow down, observe, and sit with small but meaningful moments.
Written for children aged 5–8 (and perfect for younger readers when shared aloud), this thoughtful picture book will resonate with parents, educators, and anyone who loves stories that trust children to feel deeply.
Part of the Scruffy Muffy picture-book series. Each story stands alone and can be enjoyed in any order.
