STORIES • ADVENTURE • GROWTH

Helping kids grow through stories, adventure, and meaningful experiences.

Books about Hawaii travel and exploration, with a tropical background featuring a suitcase, tropical flowers, a compass, and landscape photos.

From screen-light missions to magical middle-grade stories, I create experiences that help kids explore, imagine, build confidence, and discover more of the world around them.

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS OCTOBER 10

The Suitcase Summers:

The Lost Crown of the Isle

Book cover titled 'The Suitcase Summers: The Lost Crown of the Isle' by Laura Doyal. Features two children, a boy with glasses and a cap, and a boy pointing, walking through a lush tropical landscape with mountains, an archway, and ocean in the background.

Two cousins. One magical suitcase. An island that needs them both.

When Stephen and Ty discover that an old suitcase holds more than family memories, they're whisked away to a mysterious island where a lost crown, unexpected dangers, and a little magic await.

An illustrated chapter-book adventure about courage, family, and choosing each other.

WHY DOODLEPIE MAGIC PRESS

Why DoodlePie Magic Press

Compass Club gets kids out into the world. The Suitcase Summers invites them into one through story.

They may look different, but everything I create begins with the same idea: give kids more opportunities to wonder, explore, try something new, and discover what they’re capable of.

Because the best adventures don’t just take kids somewhere new. They help them grow along the way.

MEET LAURA

I’m Laura.

I’m building the kind of childhood adventures I want kids to remember.

Author, founder of DoodlePie Magic Press, and the creator behind Compass Club and The Suitcase Summers.

I believe kids need room to wonder, try, explore, imagine, and discover what they’re capable of. So I create stories and experiences that make a little more space for exactly that.

And I’m building it one adventure at a time.

"You don't have to have everything figured out to begin building something beautiful."
