Moira the Moniaive Moggy: Finding Friends is the second illustrated story in Moira’s adventures, following Finding Her Place.
On a snowy morning in Moniaive, Moira sets out to explore the wintry countryside. Her adventure takes her beyond the familiar village streets, where she follows mysterious tracks and meets Tango the horse and Beryl the sheep.
As Moira finds herself further from home, the three animals learn to help one another through unexpected moments and challenges. Their snowy journey becomes a gentle story about kindness, courage, trust and the friendships that can grow when someone needs a helping paw—or hoof.
Told through warm, thoughtful language and richly detailed watercolour-style illustrations inspired by the Dumfries & Galloway landscape, Finding Friends celebrates companionship, helping others and discovering that new friends can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places.
Perfect for shared reading, this comforting picture book is suitable for children aged 4–8 and for adults who enjoy gentle stories, beautiful artwork and books inspired by real places.
