Grasshopper's story

Once upon a time, in a town called Tākaka, New Zealand, a girl had a special wish of hers come true. She wished for a magical children's store, so when people young and old came, they would be enchanted with all the beautiful and wondrous things inside.  She searched the world, far and wide, for toys that would have the children play, create, and learn for hours and could then be passed on for generations to come.  She also travelled to India and Nepal where she created playful, fun clothing in natural fibres.  She found some artisans to  make colourful felt mobiles and puppets to brighten the children's rooms.  She then looked high and low for the best footwear so the children could go on fun adventures in comfort and style.  She gathered all her special treasures together and..................Grasshopper was born.
