The story of Pixie and the Bees is about a young pixie that one day swallows a swarm of bees, though doctors can’t seem to help her and her friends don’t know what is wrong with her.

It is meant to tell the story of Richmond’s experience with anxiety, and her journey to a diagnosis, then to her learning to manage it.

According to a press release, Richmond believes that the community must work together to raise awareness and funds for mental health services.

“We are extremely grateful for Erica’s support as she donates 50 per cent of her book proceeds to our branch of the Canadian mental Health Association throughout the month of May and we congratulate her on the publishing of her book,” said Jack Veitch, CMHA HKPR.
