Ses récits, souvent ancrés dans le quotidien, faisaient preuve d'une profonde compréhension du monde de l'enfance et de couches cachées de magie. Pearce utilisait fréquemment les thèmes du temps et de la mémoire pour créer des récits captivants et touchants qui résonnent à travers les générations. Son style unique et sa capacité à saisir l'essence éthérée de l'enfance en font une figure inoubliable de la littérature jeunesse.
