This story speaks to a generation of young readers growing up in a world that is both magical and challenging. It’s written for children aged 5 to 12, with themes that resonate deeply with children navigating big feelings, small ears and the beautifully diverse ways we all experience life. Mika and Caitie’s journey invites readers to embrace adventure, but more importantly, it encourages kindness, empathy, and the celebration of differences, whether that means being neurodiverse, afraid of the dark, or simply feeling unsure about the world.

Parents, grandparents, educators and caregivers will find in this book a gentle way to start meaningful conversations about compassion and courage. And for children, it offers not just an escape into a magical world, but also the tools and inspiration to become everyday heroes in their own lives.
