Moira the Moniaive Moggy: Finding Her Place is the first illustrated story in Moira’s adventures.
After arriving unexpectedly in the village of Moniaive, Moira begins exploring her unfamiliar surroundings. She watches, listens and notices small acts of kindness along the way—a bowl of milk, a friendly welcome and quiet moments that help her feel safe.
As the day unfolds, Moira begins to wonder whether this welcoming village might become somewhere she can finally call home.
Told through warm, thoughtful language and richly detailed watercolour-style illustrations inspired by the Dumfries & Galloway landscape, Finding Her Place is a gentle story about patience, trust, acceptance and discovering where you belong.
Perfect for shared reading, this calm and 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.
