About Pippenwell
Pippenwell is the creative home of author E.A. Pippenwell and a growing collection of children’s brands centered on story, discovery, and playful learning.
We create thoughtful, beautifully designed books that help children explore the world with curiosity and joy. Everything we publish is designed to be teacher- and kid-tested, built around age-appropriate skill development, and created to feel genuinely fun for children—not flat, generic, or disposable.
Pippenwell books are especially known for their full-color interiors, real illustrations, and playful, kid-lovable hosts and characters who make learning feel warm, imaginative, and engaging. Our work is never AI-generated. We believe children deserve books made with care, creativity, and a real human touch.
Across our brands, children build important skills such as visual scanning, attention, fine motor control, reasoning, sequencing, and problem-solving. But our books go beyond skill practice alone. Many also weave in fun facts and learning across topics like space, art, animals, science, and other STEM subjects, helping families make the most of every screen-free moment.
Our world includes:
Dragonwing Valley
A beloved storyworld of friendly dragons, magical adventures, and heartwarming tales. Dragonwing Valley is home to stories first—picture books, chapter book adventures, whimsical storytelling, and memorable characters children can grow up with and return to again and again.
Ultra Brainy
Full-color puzzle books for children ages 3–8, designed to make early learning feel playful, bright, and approachable. These books support foundational skill-building through age-appropriate puzzles, games, and activities children truly enjoy.
Pippenwell Discovery

Pippenwell Puzzles
Full-color, vibrant, and creative puzzle books for kids ages 8–12. Best known for their richer challenge level, these books include higher logical reasoning, problem-solving, and puzzle-first fun for older children who love to think deeply and solve with confidence.
At Pippenwell, we believe learning should feel like wonder—not busywork.
