Reviews of The Pixie Books
This book speaks directly to my heart and lived experience. Erica has an incredible gift of distilling complex and universal human challenges and themes of navigating codependency, relational trauma, self-worth & self-love into a picture book! The illustrations are beautiful. Pixie’s story brings me hope that more and more of us will find our light and shine brightly without ever dimming it under any circumstance!
If you’ve ever lived with an invisible illness, as many of us have, you will understand why I instantly fell in love with this book.
This book is excellent for helping kids (and adults) to recognize that anxiety can present itself in many ways, and it’s so painful & frustrating when no one else can see what’s happening in your body.
Erica’s capacity for story telling combined with the beautiful imagery by Brooklin define this as a classic in the making.
Erica’s stories are beautifully written and illustrated, and help us feel more confident in sharing our own stories. Thank you for sharing your talent with our community and beyond.
Book An Author Visit
During an author visit, Erica brings the world of storytelling to life, tailored to engage and inspire audiences of all ages. Her visits typically include interactive readings from her children’s book series, The Pixie Series, where she explores important themes like anxiety, self-doubt, and healthy relationships. Through these stories, Erica encourages conversations between children and their caregivers, helping them navigate big feelings in a safe and supportive environment. In addition to readings, she shares her personal journey as an author, offering insights into the writing process, the power of stories to heal, and the importance of expressing emotions through creative outlets.
Each visit is adaptable to the needs of the group, whether it’s a classroom of young students, a community gathering, or a group of aspiring writers. Activities can range from Q&A sessions where participants can ask about writing and publishing, to hands-on writing workshops designed to spark creativity and self-expression. Erica’s goal is to leave participants feeling inspired, empowered, and more connected to the stories that shape their lives.
