Pixie and the Fox

by Erica Richmond, Brooklin Holbrough (illustrator)

Once upon a time, there lived a very happy Pixie. One day she met a Fox who took her on a big adventure. For a while, things were wonderful and Pixie had so much fun. But then the Fox left, taking away her laugh, her light, and her dust – all of the things that made Pixie who she is. Pixie must find her way back to herself, so she is once again a very happy Pixie.

Pixie and the Fox is a whimsical tale about learning to stay true to yourself.
