Nadia Ramlakhan-Velit, a former editor at The Toy Book and The Toy Insider, has released her first children’s book, Chickie Chickie in the Garden. The 28-page picture book uses illustrated riddles and reveals to follow a chicken exploring a garden; it is listed on Amazon for $11.99 and at a New Jersey children’s boutique.
Nadia Ramlakhan-Velit, a former editor at The Toy Book and its sister publication, The Toy Insider, has released her first children’s book, Chickie Chickie in the Garden. The 28-page picture book follows a chicken through a garden and uses illustrated riddle-and-reveal pages to introduce young readers to its discoveries.
The book is designed for readers ages 0 and up, according to the report by The Toy Book. Vibrant illustrations by Dora Doubles accompany Chickie’s journey among garden fruits and vegetables. The riddle-and-reveal format invites children to consider what the chicken has found before the answer is shown.
Ramlakhan-Velit said the story grew from watching ordinary moments become meaningful for young children. She described its aim as encouraging families to notice small discoveries and curiosity in everyday life. That intention is reflected in the book’s garden setting and question-led pages; the report does not provide independent research or evidence about learning outcomes.
Chickie Chickie in the Garden is available on Amazon for $11.99 and at Daff & Daisy Preloved Kidswear Boutique in Columbus, New Jersey, according to the source report. Ramlakhan-Velit is scheduled to host a reading at Play First in Hamilton, New Jersey, on Nov. 1. The report says attendees can purchase copies at the event and directs readers to Play First’s website for registration.
A New Picture Book From Toy Media
The release marks a new publishing step for Ramlakhan-Velit, whose previous work included editing at two toy-industry publications. For readers and families, the immediate news is the arrival of a picture book built around curiosity and garden discovery, with an interactive structure that asks children to think along with its central character.
The book’s broad stated age range, from birth onward, makes age suitability relevant to families choosing a title. The source describes it as a picture book with riddles and reveals, but does not provide guidance about reading level, recommended caregiver involvement, or how the pages are intended to work for different ages. Those details may help buyers decide whether its format fits a particular child.
The scheduled reading gives local readers an opportunity to hear the story and, according to the report, buy a copy in person. Beyond the listed sales outlets and event, the available information does not establish the book’s distribution reach, sales performance, or reception among readers.

From Toy Editing to Storytelling
The Toy Book report identifies Ramlakhan-Velit as a former editor for that publication and The Toy Insider, both focused on the toy industry. It presents Chickie Chickie in the Garden as her first children’s book. The supplied material does not give dates for her editorial work or explain when she began developing the book.
The story is organized around a chicken exploring a fruit- and vegetable-filled garden. Its 28 pages combine Doubles’ illustrations with riddle-and-reveal sequences, rather than presenting the premise as a conventional narrative alone. The publisher, publication date, ISBN, and details about print formats are not included in the report.
Ramlakhan-Velit’s stated motivation centers on the way children find interest in everyday experiences. The report quotes her describing a hope that families will carry the book’s sense of wonder beyond the pages. This is her explanation of the book’s purpose, not a measured claim about its effects on children.
Publication and Event Details
The source report does not name a publisher or provide the book’s publication date, ISBN, print specifications, or information about editions beyond the listed Amazon availability. It also does not say whether the book will be sold through other retailers or distributed more widely.
The Play First reading is listed for Nov. 1, but the report does not give a year or event time. Its registration link is provided as playfirstnj.com. Because the supplied material does not establish whether the event has already occurred, its current status should be checked with the venue.
