Billie B Brown, by Sally Rippin, is one of the most popular first-chapter series for newly independent readers around ages 5–8. Short, relatable stories and gentle everyday dramas make it a favourite for building reading confidence.
The series runs to many numbered titles, with companion books like Hey Jack for the same readers. Buying a few in sequence helps a new reader settle into chapter books and keep the momentum going.
You might also want Ella & Olivia, The Travelling Bookshop by Katrina Nannestad, Tashi by Anna Fienberg, Barbara Fienberg & Kim Gamble. Or browse the full Ages 6-8 range.
