Where Every Story is a Seed

"A great book and a fun story... very highly recommended! My daughter read it with ease and enjoyed it—in fact, she has read it a couple of times now, which is very much a plus!" — NetGalley Reviewer 5-Star Review

“My little one read this 3x! He appreciated the illustrations and says it is entertaining. It got his imagination of adventures going as well asking questions about space. I also agree that this book was very cute and easy to read. It was an opportunity to talk about anxiety and realizing the feeling of being uncomfortable - that sometimes it's OK. We all feel it. It's learning how to cope with it and/or through it.” - NetGalley Reviewer 5-Star Review

"We love seeing that Zip and Zap is being read 'a couple of times now'! This repetition is exactly how the calming techniques within the book become second nature for young readers." - Kathy, Publisher Pixel & Parchment Books | Kids

Our Growing World 

  • Active Play & Body Awareness: Do your kids have the wiggles? Our stories aim to redirect this energy toward activities that foster body awareness and movement.

  • Emotional Resilience: Are your kids dealing with big emotions? Our stories are focused on giving children the tools they need to calm themselves.  

  • Social Harmony: Do you ever wonder how your child is doing socially and emotionally, both at school and outside of school? Our stories help build the foundation for empathy/kindness, handling tough situations, and finding their way in the world with confidence.

At Pixel & Parchment Kids, every story is a seed. We provide tools that help your child navigate a complex world with confidence, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart.
