MORTIMER PICKENS is a series that helps you see the world through the eyes of a child and with the wisdom of an adult. These are my memories and I’m grateful to share them with you. These books are written in the perspective of 10-year-old Mortimer, who at times, has some silly and yet profound insight to share.
“Mortimer Pickens and my FAVOURITE Things” talks about paying attention and learning to appreciate the little moments. From tall grass between your toes, to the smell of the ocean. These small moments can create big memories.
