Jazz and Middy

Jazz Cat and Middy Monkey go on local everyday adventures around the home and local suburbs, finding entertainment and joy wherever they go. A cute story about finding fun and adventure in everyday activities from jumping on the trampoline, going to the supermarket, and visiting the duck pond. Jazz and Middy - Lockdown Adventures is a celebration and wonderful treasured memory highlighting the positive aspects of home life with toddlers and the wonderful time spent together as a family. There are so many things built into a day for small children. It is a privilege to slow down and watch children observe the world in a beautiful way. "A hug, a laugh, a smile, a kiss, the little things matter in all of this."

Jazz and Middy - Lockdown Adventures shows the joy children have for everyday activities such as picking a strawberry from the neighbor's garden. Children adore building things out of cardboard boxes, baking muffins, and doing arts and crafts. Having a little more screen time than they would, to getting outside to jump on the trampoline and go for a walk down the creek and the local houses to spot bears and spoon villages. 

Since 2019 Melbourne Australia (and the rest of the world) has experienced a significant amount of time spent at home in Lockdown to avoid the pandemic. While hopefully a thing of the past, we saw communities come together to support each other by putting out bears for kids to spot in windows. We saw families spend a great deal of time together at home and around their local communities, while some families didn't enjoy this as much, others celebrated and adored the time together that they otherwise wouldn't have had because they were at school or work. Jazz and Middy Lockdown Adventures is a celebration for those who relished this time spent together.
