Wee Charles and the Flim Flam Spitty Witty
Wee Charles is a boy with a giant imagination and an original, curious mind. In the second of many adventures, Wee Charles must find where fun is. We have all awoken to wonder where - or even IF - the magic of the day will appear. Wee Charles finds hints of it through sleepy socks, playful clouds, and painted leaves, but his friends don’t notice. They’re obsessed by their blinking blinging gadgets. For a moment, it seems Wee Charles will have to find the magic on his own - but when a Flim Flam Spitty Witty arrives the silliness begins and imaginations run wild.

Wee Charles is a sage. A boy shaman of sorts. He knows things that others have forgotten, or never knew. He waits. And he listens.
In a world that is fast and obsessed with its Blinky-Blings (mobile devices), Wee Charles is following the noble eightfold path, or something very like it. His world is alive with possibilities. Possibilities he discovers and enters into, rather than forces on his existence.
The world of Wee Charles is full of small gifts that are alive with magical potential.
Charles knows that an appreciation of the natural world is the starting point for human creativity. He waits for inspiration to strike, and paints himself a fish-bird mask. He turns dead leaves into fish-birds with his colors.
The Flim-Flam Spitty-Witty is a hilarious and irreverent creation of the mind - the personification of our inner consciousness of something much better and more fulfilling than our habitual entrapment by empty externalities. And he comes to disrupt the ho-hum day and bring Wee-Charles’ friends back to the life of the imagination.
No more invisibility, with only the waggling of thumbs and a fixed techno-stare. Mr Flam Witty is the catalyst for Charles to open back up to his friends a life less ordinary. The one they enter into, where socks and clouds are willing partners in games of riotous silliness.
As a gentle and witty allegory of technological dependence and blindness to the beauty in life, Wee Charles and the Flim-Flam Spitty-Witty is a wake up call to us all.
Kids will love it. But grown ups will love it even more!
