Children’s books and printable activities for ages 4 to 9 – Pipa the Squirrel explores cultures, food, and friendship

Author & Illustrator –   Janika Linninen

Welcome to a world of stories and illustrations. Hi! I’m a children’s book author and illustrator – and the creator of Pipa, a little squirrel born straight from the world of imagination.

I love crafting colorful stories full of adventure, warmth, and humor. Each story I write is meant to invite children into a world that feels exciting yet safe – a place to laugh, wonder, and feel, knowing that everything will turn out just fine.

Hand-Drawn Illustrations for Every Story

All of Pipa’s adventures are illustrated by hand using ProMarkers on high-quality paper. My style is inspired by vibrant and expressive worlds like those seen in Zootopia – filled with personality, warmth, and tiny visual stories in every detail.
