The books

Two series, one family.

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.

A Persephone & Brinley Series

Persephone & Brinley

One picture book for each hard moment ADHD families actually live — fourteen in the series, each with a feeling named and a strategy your child picks herself.

Waiting Is the Hardest Part

The companion series

Mazie's Side

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.
