Maggie The Magpie

Can a thieving magpie learn to do what’s right?
Maggie the Magpie: A Rhyming Tale of Theft and Consequence is a clever, heartwarming picture book that uses humour and rhyme to gently teach children about honesty, empathy, and the impact of their actions.

Maggie isn’t your average bird—she’s bold, sneaky, and obsessed with stealing anything that sparkles. From gold and silver to school lunch sandwiches, nothing is safe from her beak! But when the whole village has had enough, one clever farmer, Bob, decides to outsmart her in the most unexpected way. What happens next is both funny and touching, as Maggie discovers how it feels to lose what’s hers—and why kindness and fairness matter more than shiny things ever could.
