The story behind Pip
A note from me
The story of Pip, and how to handle being left out, was inspired by a moment I helped my young daughter navigate when she was in preschool and figuring out tricky situations like this for the first time.
In some ways, it is also a reminder to me. Maybe other parents have felt this too, that when something hard happens to our kids, it can quietly become a chance to reparent ourselves.
My hope is that it offers a quiet moment to slow down together, some room to feel the big feelings, and maybe a small sense that you get to choose what happens next. It is something I am still practicing myself and wish I had found earlier, and I would love for kids to grow up trusting that they can find their way through the tricky moments that come along.
From my studio
Pip and friends are the first animal characters I’ve ever created, and making them has been a fun adventure. They come out of my studio in Los Angeles, where I make art, artful things and ideas, and this book is one way I’m taking that practice somewhere new.
