The Truth Pixie will make the perfect Christmas stocking filler or surprise gift of any season for any child you know - but especially the child who feels a bit different or needs a friend or just needs some cheering up for any reason at all. Production values are high and this story comes in a dinky hardback - it's one of those books that even smell nice. I particularly loved the Hair Mouse and the page-sized troll mouth roaring in horror at hearing the truth about himself. They're wild, full of energy and instantly arresting. And his drawings for this story range from the sweet to the scary to the hilarious. But you all know Chris Mould, right? He's fab.

I can't show you the images except for the cover up on the right there. So, I'm stressed in bed and stressed on the looĪnd the mouse in my hair has just done a pooĪnd sometimes, it's sweet and really rather profound:Īnd sometimes, it's positively inspirational: Gets a horrible truth I can't help but mention Sometimes, it's blunt and funny:Įvery elf or pixie who asks me a question The rhyme is lovely and scans well, so is a pleasure - and easy - to read aloud. And it comes from the power duo of Matt Haig (the word man) and Chris Mould (the drawing man). It's funny and naughty, yes, but most of all it's uplifting. The Truth Pixie is a lovely rhyming story about being different and the power of friendship. She loses a lot of friends by telling the truth and is very lonely.

You might not want to attract the attention of the school bully by calling him mean and nasty, for example, or you might not want to tell someone that you think their brand new haircut looks awful.Īnd this is Truth Pixie's curse. You might think this is a good thing because telling lies is bad, right? But sometimes the truth isn't nice and sometimes a white lie is okay and sometimes it's better to say nothing at all. She's cursed! She can't speak unless it's to tell the truth. Summary: Gorgeous rhyming story about difference and friendship by Matt Haig, wonderfully illustrated by Chris Mould.
