Three Wise Pups

Hi, I’m Nicola Smythe — an Australian nurse, mother, and children’s author whose work blends empathy and adventure.
Drawing on my nursing background and life with my young daughter and our three dogs, I create stories that gently explore emotions, resilience, and the magic of everyday moments.
Through my creative brand, The Three Wise Pups, I share uplifting lessons for families through picture books and affirmation cards.

The Three Wise Pups — teaching life’s big lessons in little ways.
