The Truth Pixie

Well, the wonderful mix of Matt Haig and Chris Mould brings a thoroughly enchanting and well-told tale that not only entertains but helps with one of life's biggest conundrums for the young (and some of the not so young), namely telling the truth when it may hurt. I think any adult will be as captivated as their children by this tale and the artwork within. Go on, sometimes the BEST things really do come in tiny packages!

Aw this book is sweet, and speaks to me just like I thought it would. I follow Matt on Instagram and that’s how I ended up here, buying this book for my kids first... then on to the adult books of his next. I know they’ll all be excellent because his words speak to my soul like I hoped they would. First read was with my kids at bedtime... was beautiful.

Matt Haig's, A Boy Called Christmas, has become a favorite book of mine to use in the classroom. The Truth Pixie is a character from this book, so when I saw she had her own book I was very excited. This is an easy to read book, similar to a longer Dr. Seuss book. Her story has a wonderful theme that teaches a lesson to be true to who you are.

The only thing that doesn't convince me is that: The truth Pixie told earlier is mean. Like you're ugly & stupid. But the truth she told Aada is more like Buddha truth: Nothing is permanent. More like emo song truth. Pixie might learns to speak better quality of truth along the way to Helsinki where people can take the truth. But it's children book. I shouldn't be too critical. I should have this in my childhood.

I'm just going to review these together. I read them both together in 1 sitting. They were just cute, fun short reads that gave me a little more time in this world with one of my favorite characters from the Christmas trilogy-the Truth Pixie. Had a blast with these. Beautiful cover & full of beautiful illustrations inside by Chris Mould too.💜

A wonderful book with thought provoking positive messages, written with children in mind. I believe that with an open mind, adults can benefit as well. I know I have. The illustrations are also very nice.

I wish there was a book like this when I was younger. Such a beautiful and honest story. Excellent for children who may experience or navigate through any mental health concerns. This book is truly a gift for children and adults alike.

Who couldn't handle the truth? Everyone, and if the truth is all you've got,well popularity isn't something you're familiar with. Such is life for the Truth Pixie . . . until? I've already ordered this wonderful fairytale for my niece. An affirmation of honesty and how trust and truth will often arrive hand in hand.

Uma delicadeza. Um belo presente, cheio de humanidade e esperança, caso alguém tenha perdido um pouco da sua.

Such a great book for both kids & adults alike. I bought this for my 3 yr old but found that it reminded me of some things I had forgotten too. Such a brilliant read. My kid loves it, I love it, hubby loves it. Highly recommend.

I’ve read a couple of Matt Haig’s adult books and find his words to be inspiring and motivational. His tweets help those of us struggling with depression to speak out and feel less alone. He is a legend in my eyes. When I saw the excitement on Twitter around his latest release, The Truth Pixie, I had to investigate. Although it’s a children’s book I was instantly drawn in by the idea of teaching youngsters to love themselves – something we as adults could also work on. The Truth Pixie shouldn’t be restricted to children! This book is delightful in every way. The illustrations by Chris Mould are stunning and the way the story flows is a joy to read. The Truth Pixie keeps herself hidden away as everything that comes out of her mouth is the truth – and people don’t want to hear the truth. She sees this as a curse and so her only friend is a mouse called Maarta who lives in her hair. She tries to avoid everyone without luck and ends up upsetting a couple of elves, a rabbit and a large troll. The angry troll throws the poor pixie far, far away where she meets a sad little girl, but it’s here that her truth helps rather than hinders. It was at this point I found my favourite page in the book which I’ve since photographed and stuck on my office wall. Don’t forget who you are. You are a fighter. As the dark in the sky makes the stars shine brighter, You will find the bad stuff has good bits too. The bad days are the days that make you you. If you have children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, or just want to entertain your inner child then I highly recommend you get a copy of The Truth Pixie. It’s a beautiful book.

Fantástico! A bit long for a bed time story but well worth it! My 6 year old daughter really enjoyed it!

It has a great lesson for children woven through the story.
