The Girl Who Saw Cartoons is a heartwarming children’s book series that follows Margot, an imaginative 8-year-old girl living in an old, creaky orphanage called Willow Brook. While the world around her feels quiet, strict, and sometimes lonely, Margot carries a when she looks at the world, she doesn’t just see rooms and objects — she sees stories waking up.
A foggy window becomes a flying bird. A wooden floor becomes a sailing sea. A pile of leaves becomes a smiling fox made of moonlight.
Alongside her best friend Lucas — a kind, curious boy who loves broken gadgets — Margot discovers hidden libraries, secret doors, and magical moments hiding inside ordinary days. What makes this series special is that the magic is never about spells or wands… it’s about kindness, creativity, courage, and the quiet power of imagination.
