The MSC is thrilled to be part of this venture, hoping the book will encourage families to have outdoor adventures while providing them with safety knowledge. The team is excited about the book and looks forward to sharing it with readers this summer.

This innovative book, "Mia & Leo Go Wild," blends 'lifestyle' and 'outdoor-living' with 'home-and-garden' and 'sports'. It introduces families to an engaging story about Mia and Leo's tramping adventure, teaching practical 'sports' safety tips through the New Zealand Land Safety Code.
