Mini and Milo help children gain much-needed skills such as conflict management and resilience skills. Story-led, with humour and heart, this series follows the adventures of Mini and Milo as they navigate friendship and all its ups and downs, such as competitiveness, managing inner voices, learning to listen, and communicating effectively.

The Big Flappy Ears is the perfect book to share with your child to learn the skill of listening.

Mini’s ears are bigger than big and huger than huge … but she has a problem. They aren’t very good at listening. When Mini misses out on the excursion, she realises that maybe her ears aren’t the problem after all. It’s not the size or shape of your ears that count, but using them!

About the Author

Venita Dimos is an experienced lawyer, mediator and coach. For over 20 years she has helped thousands of people solve complex problems and navigate difficult times in their lives.

As a mother of three daughters, she is passionate about empowering children with the skills and resilience to navigate the inevitable curveballs that life throws at them. Venita’s books explore key life skills in a fun, humorous and imaginative way. Her Mini & Milo series has been driven by the importance of teaching children emotional and social intelligence early on, so they arrive into adulthood armed with skills that support their future success and happiness.

Venita lives in Melbourne with her daughters. She is an outright optimist, loves heartfelt conversations and has a penchant for all things chocolate.

Natashia Curtin grew up in a Yolngu township in the Northern Territory, and completed high school while living in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. She always had her nose in a book, or was drawing pictures - because computer games weren’t invented yet, and it was stinky hot outside. She moved to Melbourne in the 1990s to study graphic design and learned how to live in a big city. While working as a graphic designer, Natashia met and married a lovely man, and they had two boys (who don’t draw, because computer games were invented). She likes boogie-boarding, listening to music and hanging with friends. She promised to barrack for Collingwood in her wedding vows. She hates rockmelon, rap music and bad paragraph spacing.
