The Persephone & Brinley series is for the child with ADHD. Mazie's Side is for the sibling in the next chair. Same family, same honesty contract — a different seat at the table. Each title names one hard moment and hands the child a strategy she picks herself.
One picture book for each hard moment ADHD families actually live. Book 1 is first out the door; the rest are written and releasing one at a time as their art is finished.
It's Mazie's turn on the new tire swing. This is going to be the longest wait in history.
Persephone discovers the Popcorn Jobs — three things to do while waiting that turn the hardest minute into something she can actually handle.

It's Mazie's turn on the new tire swing, and this is going to be the LONGEST WAIT IN HISTORY. Persephone discovers the Popcorn Jobs — three things to do while waiting that turn the hardest minute into something she can handle.
Coming soonwhen screen time ends
The screen has to go off, and “one more minute” never means one minute. Persephone learns to land the plane — a heads-up, a timer she can see, and a next thing already waiting — so turning it off stops being a fight.
Coming soonCovers are landing as the art is finished — books showing a placeholder are written and on the way. Join the list to hear the moment each one is live.
A companion series told from Mazie's point of view — Persephone's little sister, the four-year-old everyone calls “the easy one.” For each moment Persephone has hers, there's a Mazie book that names what the same moment costs the sibling: the turn that gets swallowed, the rules that bend for her sister, the floor she learns to tiptoe on so nothing cracks. The feeling is always real. The antagonist is always the moment, never Persephone. And Mazie finds her own way through — with the help of her dolls, not a lesson from an adult.
Mazie's turn on the tire swing dissolves into someone else's big feeling. The resentment-and-guilt knot, named and loosened.
