Turning a Granddaughter’s Courage Into a Children’s Book Series

At PrintingCenterUSA, we love seeing print used to spark imagination, share meaningful stories, and make a lasting impact on young readers. For author and artist Olivia Norris, print has become the bridge between a deeply personal inspiration and a growing children’s book series designed to uplift families and children everywhere.

What began as a heartfelt story inspired by her granddaughter has grown into Princess Presley and the PKU Chocolate Quest with many more adventures still to come.


About Olivia Norris

Olivia Norris is a children’s book author and artist whose work centers on courage, imagination, and celebrating what makes each child unique. Inspired by her granddaughter’s strength and resilience, Olivia began creating stories that help children see challenges not as limitations, but as opportunities for bravery and creativity.

As both a storyteller and designer, Olivia values hands-on creative control, carefully shaping every detail of her books from the illustrations to the final printed format. Her goal is to create books that feel special in a child’s hands while remaining accessible to families, schools, and community organizations.

The Challenge

When Olivia decided to bring Princess Presley and the PKU Chocolate Quest to life, she needed a printing partner who could match her vision. Children’s books require more than just ink on paper they must be vibrant, durable, and inviting, able to withstand frequent reading by little hands while still looking polished and professional.

Olivia also wanted flexibility. As an independent creator, she needed a solution that allowed her to maintain creative control, produce consistent quality across multiple print runs, and keep her books affordable as the series grows.

The Printing Solution

Olivia partnered with PrintingCenterUSA to transform her stories into high-quality, beautifully bound children’s books. The professional printing process ensured her illustrations printed with rich color, crisp detail, and a finish that feels both durable and premium.

By working with PrintingCenterUSA, Olivia was able to confidently produce books that meet the expectations of parents, educators, and young readers alike while remaining scalable for future titles in the series.

The result is a children’s book that looks and feels just as magical as the story inside.

For Olivia, the impact goes beyond the finished book. Seeing her story in print represents a deeply personal milestone one that honors her granddaughter’s bravery while opening the door to future stories and creative projects.
