Story Behind The Book
The story was inspired when Cheryl's son Dylan had a difficult time weaning off of the pacifier. She wrote a nursery rhyme about The Paci Pixie to help her son. Her cousin and co-author Amy Perreault suggested they write a book to accompany the nursery rhyme. Her husband, Steven Perreault, a graphic designer created The images in the book. Also another family member, Lynne Hajjar, Amy's sister can be heard singing the nursery rhyme and speaking the audiobook. The work is truly a family affair.

The story, the illustrations, the incredible attention to the tiniest details gave me goose bumps and a sense of awe with every page we turned.

My children love the book, illustrations and nursery rhyme. My daughter is seven and never used a pacifier, but she still loves the story. My three year old was very fearful of losing his pacifier, but after reading the book he said he now wants to see The Paci Pixie take his very soon. The story is soothing and beautiful with wonderful illustrations!</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Jennifer Sherman <span class="costumer-title"> - Stratham, NH</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>My sister read The Paci Pixie to her three-year-old son who used a pacifier to help him fall asleep. She explained it was time for the Pixie to take his pacifier away to sprinkle it with pixie dust and prepare it for another little boy or girl. My nephew was so excited to help a younger child fall asleep before reaching “big boy” age, and he hasn’t used a pacifier since.</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Margaret M.

It is a wonderful resource for parents and pediatricians.</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Dr. Irving J. Newman, MD FAAP <span class="costumer-title"> - North Chelmsford, MA</span></p> </div>
