Reimagined Routes Adventures · Now published
Storytelling in the Making…
The initial spark came when Bennie learned how to crochet Froggie, inspiring three new friends made from upcycled materials—and that is how their story began. The adventure of Owlie, Scruffy and Bertie is now a published book.
Meet Owlie, Scruffy and Bertie, three characters created from materials once forgotten and discarded, in the first Reimagined Routes Adventures story by Iveta M. Bejaoui.
Meet the characters

The first Reimagined Routes Adventure
Owlie, Scruffy and Bertie Come to Life
Have you ever looked at waste and thought it could be something else?
Have you ever wondered what to do with an old shirt, scarf or dress besides throwing it away?
Have you ever picked up a feather and thought it could be given a new route, a new story?
Sometimes the most magical moments are in the most unexpected, simplest things. Get ready for an adventure with Mitsy - who loves to see possibilities in things others see as waste - alongside her son Bennie and their cat Kiki, as together they help Bertie, Scruffy and Owlie come to life.
Inspired by real handmade characters, Owlie, Scruffy and Bertie Come to Life is a warm story of family, friendship and the possibilities hidden in everyday things.
Enjoy the story and step into the world where upcycling takes on the life of its own. Let’s see where the journey takes you, sparking your own ideas and adventures for seeing things around you in a different light. You too have the power to reimagine.
The first book in the Reimagined Routes Adventures series invites young readers to look again at something overlooked—and wonder what its next story might be.
