✍️🌍 Calling all young changemakers! 🌍✍️
Are you aged 9–14 and passionate about making a difference? Would you like to share your thoughts, stories, or ideas with the world? We’re inviting YOU to become a guest blogger on our website — inspired by Pixie Van Dimple, the 12-year-old hero from our children’s books who never stays quiet when something needs changing!
Whether it’s writing about sustainable fashion, animal welfare, the impact of plastic on our oceans, or what it means to grow up in today’s world — your voice matters. You can also write creatively, invent your own characters, or blog about what’s important to you. Writing a blog helps build your language, computer, and research skills — and it’s even part of the UK school curriculum. 💻🧠✏️
Pixie knows that one small voice can lead to big change — and we believe yours can too. 🌱 Ready to speak up, stand out, and inspire others? Send us your blog ideas and let’s amplify your voice! Let your creative juices flow!
📚🧠 Calling all parents and teachers of budding young writers! 🧠📚
We’re inviting children aged 9–14 to become guest bloggers on our website, inspired by the courageous and curious spirit of Pixie Van Dimple, the 12-year-old protagonist from our popular and award winning children’s books.
This is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to develop their writing, digital, and research skills in line with the UK national curriculum, while also expressing their thoughts and creativity. Themes might include sustainable fashion, marine pollution, animal welfare, or even issues that matter to young people today — such as self-expression, the environment, or healthy living. Blogs can be informative, persuasive, reflective, or fictional — the aim is to give children a platform to be heard and to know that their voices can create real change.
If you know a young person who’s ready to use their words for good — to reflect, to inspire, or to stand up for something they care about — we’d love to read their ideas. Please help us spread the word in your classroom or home, and encourage children to submit a piece. We can’t wait to showcase their brilliance!
To help you get started Pixie has created a prompt sheet to help you plan your blog!
