In 1985 Brierly Investments bought and restructured the company and she was made redundant at the age of 42. She decided to move into educational publishing and established Sunshine Books, specialising in early reading and mathematics books, and concentrated on selling in the United States. In 1994 her United States business was bought out and she began to develop new markets in Australia and Asia. By 2010 her firm had eight offices worldwide, and Pye was one of the richest women in New Zealand. The company was one of the first to use digital and CD-Rom technology to develop multi-media educational materials, such as computer animated numeracy and literacy resources. (en)
