RDATWIGC

RDATWIGC is a warm, funny Phoenixglade story inspired by familiar fairy tales: keeping the magic, while letting the characters grow up a little.

Inside this story you’ll fine:

  • R is brave because she’s grounded, not because she’s reckless

  • Mothers aren’t background noise; they’re the quiet architects of safety

  • “Stranger awareness” is taught without paranoia

  • Kindness exists without naivety

  • Authority can be held without fear

  • Humour lands without humiliation

  • Conflict doesn’t get the final word. Repair does

Aimed at: 4–9 year olds
Format: A warm, illustrated picture book with real feelings, gentle humour, a little cosy chaos, and a story that ends in understanding.

Illustrations & World

Phoenixglade is being illustrated with care and intention. The artwork for this book is designed to feel cinematic yet gentle; painterly, warm, and welcoming, with a focus on readability and emotional expression.
The goal is to create a world that feels magical without being overwhelming, and expressive without becoming scary. A place children can return to again and again.
