Book Reviews

Autism_unpicked "I just wanted to let you know your book arrived and it is great. A great one for us to recommend to families and for some of the direct work we do with little ones. It was a lovely read and quite emotional. I'll be sure to add it to our website recommendation too."

SENDwise "What a wonderful book for children and their parents! I love it. I can see this being used in pre-schools as well as primary schools!”

Ms JS King (Amazon) "Great book for kids with additional needs. My daughter is autistic, PDA, ADHD and she really enjoyed the story. She could relate to several pages pointing out herself how that was similar to things she felt and asking lots of questions. Also would be great for school, friends, siblings to help relate." 

Vaiva (Amazon) “This book is written in clear and accessible language, providing  valuable insights, not only for neurodivergent children navigating their daily challenges but also for their siblings and classmates to better understand neurodivergence. It serves as an excellent resource for home, school and therapeutic settings. Furthermore, the book is both encouraging and empowering for neurodivergent children. I particularly appreciate its emphasis on collaboration and that we can figure things out together."

Rainbowstorm2012 "My little one loved it and saw the rhino as her big sister. Lots of talk came from it. I love the character and illustrations, they were powerful. The illustrations could tell the story without reading. I love the idea of adding some strategies and ideas of what to do if you feel like this. I love the whole concept and how you explain autism and neurodivergence throughout the story. It is brilliant and we love it."

Darren Spencer (Amazon) "This is a truly amazing book. Helping everyone get a different perspective on the world around us and how we, as adults, can support the people we love. Highly recommended for children (and adults!) for all ages."

Anonymous (Amazon) "As a parent of a child with autism, I found this book really relatable. It touches on issues commonly faced by kids and parents with autism. It was really colourful and clear to read too, a great book!”

Anonymous (Amazon) "This book is brilliant. My daughter has been struggling for a while but I couldn't figure out why. We read this book together and I was amazed at how much she related to. It's a great conversation starter and really helped us understand each other better. I'd highly recommend"

Michelle L. Johnson (Amazon) "This book, on the surface, is a cute story with adorable illustrations. But I wasn't prepared for the way in which this story would deeply affect me. It's a beautiful love story from a parent to their ND child. The message, in essence: Come what may, I'm here for you. There is SO much power in that message. And as a late diagnosed audhd adult, who had no support growing up, this was the book I never knew I needed. It hurt to read. Then it healed something in me that I think was just waiting all this time to hear the words ‘I’ve got you’… The reinforcement of love and support this book delivers is, in my opinion, a must have for parents of neurodivergent children (and really though, every child needs to hear this message from their parents!)… Well done to the author and illustrator. I may just read this to myself from time to time. I will definitely hold it in my heart as a reminder to give myself grace and love and support when needed."

Jess, Speech and Language Therapist "What a wonderful book!!! I love the pictures and the fact it rhymes; it's always a big tick from speech therapy. The overall message is so lovely; and great that there are some strategies in there too. I will certainly be recommending it to people."

Suzi Payton AUDHD speaker, comedian and coach "I've just read your book and it brought tears to my eyes. It's lovely and I wish I had had it growing up."
