Lex & Fox β€” the books

Two friends, and the feelings that don’t have easy names.

Our picture books follow Lex and his fox through the small, ordinary moments that turn out to be enormous β€” a morning that goes wrong, a worry that fills the road ahead, a kite that won’t fly. Gentle stories for children who feel deeply, and the grown-ups who walk beside them.

Published by Lex & Fox Press. Available in paperback from Amazon.

Choose-Your-Path

A children's hardcover book titled 'Volcano Day' by Alex Poul, featuring colorful cartoon artwork of a boy and a fox under a glowing sky. The book is photographed on a light wood surface with colored pencils, toy blocks, and a knit fabric prop around it.

Lex & Fox and the Volcano Day

A rushed morning, a Lego disaster, and a chest that starts to fizz. Lex learns to read his own volcano levels β€” calm, warm, bubbling, erupting β€” and gets to decide whether the lava flies. Ages 6–9.

A children's book titled 'Fog Ahead' by Exofox is displayed on a rustic wooden table surrounded by cozy autumn props, including a lantern, rope, leaves, a boot, and a child's hand resting on the cover.

Lex & Fox and the Fog Ahead

A school trip everyone else is excited about. But Lex’s head is full of what if β€” and worry, it turns out, works a lot like fog on the road in front of you. Ages 6–9.

The Stories

A hardcover book titled "The Weather Inside Me" by Lexa & Fox is held by a hand on a light wood surface near a window. The cover features an illustration of a boy and a fox in a forest.

The Weather Inside Me

Lex wakes with a storm inside him. Fox knows exactly where to go β€” the Quiet Woods, where weather changes, pauses, and passes. Ages 6–9.

A children's book titled 'The Little Heartbeat' lies on a green blanket outdoors, surrounded by ferns, acorns, twigs, and a feather. A small child's hand reaches toward the open book, which shows an illustration of a boy kneeling beside a fox in a forest.

The Little Heartbeat

Some feelings don’t shout. Some feelings tap. Following a tiny nervous rhythm through the Quiet Woods leads Lex somewhere softer than he expected. Ages 6–9.

A children's book titled 'The Third Kite' lies on a light wooden table, with a child's hand touching the cover. The cover illustration shows a boy holding a kite next to a fox in an open field.

The Third Kite

The first kite crashes. The second won’t lift at all. Then a quiet kite-maker offers a different way of thinking β€” not about getting it right, but about paying attention. Ages 5–9.

A children's hardcover book titled "The Day That Wouldn't Budge" lies on a rustic wooden table outdoors. The cover shows an illustrated boy standing by a gate with a fox and a house in the background.

The Day That Wouldn’t Budge

Rain falls, plans slip, and a rope is tied to something that will not move. Some things are worth pulling. Some things are worth planting your feet and letting be. Ages 5–9.
