Lucy and the Heartmarks

Book One · The Cat Club's band, and a lost little dog

An orange tabby with a heart on her forehead makes four friends, starts a band with a drum kit made of pots, and becomes famous — then a lost chihuahua crashes through the window on the quietest night of their lives, and the whole town plays a benefit show to send him home.

  • Graphic novel: 21 pages · 11 chapters
  • The band's own songs

Azalea

Azalea and the Ears Club

Book Two · A comic about friendship, out loud

Azalea finds out there's a Secret Club she wasn't invited to. Over ten chapters she works out what she can and cannot control about friendship — slowing down before she reacts, having a good afternoon on her own, joining in, honest feedback, teasing, apologies, compromise and where her own line is — and ends up starting a club nobody gets left out of.

  • 22 pages · 11 chapters
  • Four panels a page
  • Ten friendship lessons, zero lectures

Detective Daisy

The Hidden Why

Game · Four cases open on Daisy's desk

A mystery game where the biggest clues aren't always the ones you can see. Detective Daisy hands you a case file — missing cupcakes, a new kid who walks away from everybody, a joke that wasn't funny, a group project gone sideways — and you walk the town map, gather clues, hear everyone's side, and decide what you think really happened. Nobody was being bad; people each knew one true thing and nobody put them on the same table.

  • Cases One to Four playable
  • Clickable town map, people to question
  • Sketchbook, two-clue solve, badges

Activities · Color, cut, hunt and build the band

Something to do with your hands after the book.

  • 7 coloring pages · 3 dot-to-dots
  • Find Tofu in two concert crowds
  • Popsicle-stick puppet project

Adventure Passport

My Adventure Passport

Activities · Collect 25 adventures, big and small

A passport for collecting twenty-five adventures. You help choose where you go, what you do and how you do it. Five sample adventures to start with — the beach, the woods, a puzzle on the rug, a family bike ride and the playground — each with the choices that are yours to make, what to pack, and the stamp you earn. Then the questions: what do you like to do, and what makes an adventure perfect?

  • 5 sample adventures
  • 25 stamps to collect
  • Print-ready passport to fold and keep
