Mia is the founder, CEO, and entire staff of Origam-Mia, Inc. — a paper-animal business run from a folding table at the end of her driveway in Middleburg. Ask her age and you'll get a fraction. Ask about the company and you'll get a business card. She takes all of this very seriously — and soon, so will you.

Mia can fold almost anything. But every so often — with a certain blue sparkle pen, and a bit of magic no grown-up can explain — a creation blinks, stretches, and comes to life, glowing soft electric blue and thoroughly convinced it knows best.

A crane that taught her something you make can turn out to be somebody. A fox with a mind of its own. An owl that sees what everyone walks right past. Every book brings a new creature with a job to do — and when the job is done, it goes. Except the ones who stay, keeping watch from the shelf above her desk.

A funny, heartfelt, just-a-little-bit-magical chapter book series for ages 8–11.

✨ A new adventure — and a new paper creature — with every book.

Where the origami comes to life.

The Paper Crane is Book One of the Origam-Mia, Inc. series — a funny, heartfelt, just-a-little-bit-magical chapter book for readers ages 8 to 11. It's a story about an ordinary kid, an extraordinary paper bird, and the discovery that a little imagination (and a lot of heart) can change everything.

The Paper Fox is Book Two of the Origam-Mia, Inc. series — a funny, heartfelt, just-a-little-bit-magical chapter book for ages 8–11 — a story about a clever girl, an even cleverer paper fox, and the discovery that catching a culprit is nothing next to understanding a kind heart.
