Hi, I’m Karina. I’m a mama, storyteller, and big believer in the magic of brave little hearts.

I created Nixie’s world for every child who’s ever stood at the edge of something scary and whispered, “I can’t.”

And for every parent who gently replies, “Yes you can. I’ll be right here.”

Nixie and the Wobbly Bridge was born from bedtime stories and real-life moments - those teary first swim lessons, wobbly bike rides, and all the tiny acts of courage we cheer on as parents.

I hope this book becomes a well-loved companion on your family’s journey toward bravery, one small step at a time.
