Minty Green likes to understand things properly.

When a sudden burst of curiosity sends her investigating her own body, Minty begins noticing everything: her squishy bits, her wiggly bits, her freckles, her hair, her changing shape.
And once she starts looking, she can’t stop.

Before long she’s peeking at Mum’s fluffy legs, Dad’s tickly chest, Gran’s wobbling neck, and the wide, wonderful mix of people she meets at school. Everywhere she turns, she finds something new, surprising, and delightfully different.

With humour, warmth, and a big dose of wonder, The Curious Case of Minty Green celebrates the joy of exploring who we are — our bodies, our families, and the marvellous variety of humans in the world around us.

Rather than teaching or preaching, Minty leads readers through a gentle, giggle-filled journey of questions, observations, and “aha!” moments. By the end, she realises that even though people can look wildly different, “we’re much the same” in all the ways that matter.

A bright, engaging picture book that encourages curiosity, confidence, and celebration of the unique bodies and lives we each grow into.
