Introducing Michael's World

We are so excited to share something truly special with you — Michael's World, the newest addition to the Scribbleverse family!

A Different Kind of Story

While the Milli Miles series is designed for our youngest readers (ages 3–8), Michael's World is an illustrated chapter book written for ages 7–12. It's a story about a boy named Michael who is navigating the big, sometimes confusing world of growing up.

Michael's World explores themes of:

• Identity — Who am I, really?
• Resilience — How do I get back up when things get hard?
• Quiet Courage — You don't have to be loud to be brave.
• Belonging — Finding your place in the world.

The Art Tells the Story Too

Just like the Milli Miles books, Michael's World features stunning illustrations by Caterina Baldi. But this time, the art takes on a slightly more mature, layered style — reflecting the deeper emotions and experiences Michael goes through.

Every chapter is accompanied by full-page illustrations that bring Michael's inner world to life. The colors shift with his moods, the backgrounds grow more detailed as his understanding deepens, and small visual details reward careful readers.

Why This Book Matters

As a mother and grandmother, I've seen how children in the 7–12 age range are often caught between "too old for picture books" and "not ready for heavy novels." Michael's World fills that gap with a story that respects their intelligence while still wrapping them in warmth and wonder.

"Every child deserves a book that makes them feel understood." — Marcy Spear
