Little Phoenix Studios is a family-rooted, child-led publishing company. We believe children are creators, thinkers, and explorers—not just listeners at story time.
Michael Starr writes the stories. Caitlyn Starr brings them to life through illustration. Makayla Starr contributes her own artistic perspective. Together, their work makes room for curiosity, emotional awareness, and the freedom to think differently.
Our clinical experience informs our storytelling. Our books are creative works, not mental health treatment.
