My fingers are crossed that by the end of April the books will be live and available. After finally realizing that I should finally give it a try a little less than a year ago, I see light at the end of the tunnel.

Five books. FIVE BOOKS. That was so ambitious. Four stories and a workbook to build your own. Hand-painted watercolor illustrations. Stories I’ve been carrying around in my head for years. Almost ready. If I had known what it would have taken to get here, I’d still have gone for it 🙂

So, if you’re looking for illustrated children’s books for early readers — something that feels handmade because it actually is — they’ll be on Amazon soon. The full series, plus a creative workbook with writing prompts so kids write and illustrate their own adventure.

Join the Den mailing list to get notified the moment they go live. And, of course, I’ll post it here as well.

Thank you Everyone!!

The Macchi’s Den series — hand-painted illustrated children’s books for early readers ages 4–8 — coming to Amazon, end of April 2026.
