Step into the lives of Catherine Bradshaw and Pauline Zufferey, two ENFP schoolteachers, mothers, and dear friends who somehow always end up back in the classroom, despite their best intentions. With red curls and an Italian nose, Catherine pens the words. Raven-haired and fiercely creative, Pauline brings them to life with art. Between them lies more than a century of life experience, sixty years of wrangling classrooms, and over five decades of parenting.

This book is a tapestry of humour, heartache, faith, motherhood, Christmas carparks, rogue shopping trolleys, and sacred moments found in everyday chaos. Through witty monologues and striking illustrations, Catherine and Pauline invite you to laugh, cry, reflect, and perhaps see the miraculous in your own mundane.
