Writing worlds where every child belongs
Mira Joy is an author and creator of children's books, educational resources, journals, colouring books, and personal development projects. Her mission is to inspire curiosity, inclusion, emotional growth, and lifelong learning through stories and creative experiences.
Our mission & values
The Hidden Mind exists to remind us that learning is most powerful when it is warm, creative, and kind. Every project begins with a simple question: how can this help a child feel curious, capable, and understood?
Curiosity
Encouraging children to ask, wonder, and explore the world around them.
Inclusion
Every child deserves to see themselves in a story and feel they belong.
Emotional growth
Nurturing kindness, empathy, and a healthy relationship with feelings.
Lifelong learning
Sparking a love of discovery that lasts far beyond childhood.
Why the books were created
The books grew from a belief that big ideas — technology, science, communication, and emotional wellbeing — become approachable when they are wrapped in gentle, relatable stories. Characters like the Technology Friends make STEM feel like a friendship, while the sign language and communication resources open doors to inclusion.
Each title is designed to be read together, discussed, coloured, and revisited — a shared experience between children, parents, carers, and educators.
The creative journey & future projects
From storybooks and journals to animations, audiobooks, and new characters, The Hidden Mind is always growing. Future projects will expand the Technology Friends, deepen the sign language series, and explore new stories about kindness and understanding — with plenty of imagination along the way.
