Hi everyone… My name is Axita and I wrote my first series of children’s books! Listen, I didn’t give up extra dirty martinis for 9 months so my kids can drink starbucks and scroll tik tok videos all day. I mean, yes yes of course I want them to have fun! But I also know that the lessons Iinstill in them today are what’s going to remain in this world long after I’ve left.


That very thought inspired me to ask the important question. In a world that seems be growing more and more hateful and wasteful by the minute, how I can raise my kids to be kind, compassionate, and confident human beings? Someone whose confidence isn’t based on what others think of them, who they know or what they own. Someone who thinks beyond themselves, and considers the impact of their actions on both the world and the environment. Someone who has no hesitation showing gratitude to others and themselves. Someone who goes after what they want and navigates life with true grit and persistence. It is for this reason that I created ‘Positive Pooja’.

The vivacious Pooja and her best friend, Pete, are there to help children navigate and learn crucial life lessons, such as empathy, manners, self-worth, confidence and so many more. Ultimately, I’ve created these characters to teach our little ones to recognize the impact they have on this world and most importantly ensure that it’s a positive one. I would find myself going to the library with my then 2 year old and struggling to find things that could help shape my baby to become the person I want him to grow up to be. So one day, during my very spiritual hot yoga class I had the idea for my first book. I came home and wrote my first rough draft. Since then, I have completed 6 books each with a very valuable life lesson. Let’s grow little humans that will do good in this world and who realize their unlimited potential!
