About me
Hello, and welcome! My name is Andrea Hayden, author of Imole - Paws & Pearls and founder of The House of ChiChi. My inspiration comes from my loyal companion, Imole, whose name means light (that brings joy). Together we've built a world that blends storytelling, fashion and heart. Through my writing, I aim to inspire children to dream big and believe in themselves, while The House of ChiChi brings a touch of elegance and playfulness to the lives of our four legged friends. At the heart of everything is a simple motto: I choose to try - because with courage and creativity, even the smallest steps can lead to the brightest journeys. Imole - Paws & Pearls is the first book in the series of The House of ChiCi. You can follow Imoles journey of change, dreams and friendship.
Imole - Paws & Pearls
Imole – Paws & Pearls is more than a children’s story — it’s a message of light, courage, and belonging. I wrote it to remind children that they are enough, just as they are, and that being different is something to be celebrated. Through Imole’s journey, children learn that kindness never goes out of fashion, true friendship is precious, and every dream deserves its chance to sparkle. My hope is simple: that a child might open this book on a hard day and find comfort, courage, and a smile. Because sometimes one gentle story can change how a little heart sees itself and the world.
