The Pixie Series
With Pixie’s help, readers learn to understand and tackle complex feelings and experiences.
Pixie is bright, curious, and full of heart — but like all of us, she faces big feelings and tough moments. In Pixie and the Bees, she learns to live with something invisible that makes her feel not-quite-right. In Pixie and the Fox, she finds her way back to herself after losing her spark in a tricky relationship. These stories gently open up conversations about anxiety, self-trust, and being true to who you are.
The Pixie books are honest, hopeful, and beautifully illustrated — a meaningful way to explore big topics with kids of all ages.
