How it Feels to Me 💫📖✨

A picture book about neurodiversity and sensory processing.

Surprise! 🥳

I am soooooooooo excited I am to be launching preorders for How it Feels to Me: a picture book about neurodiversity and sensory processing.

I’ve teamed up with Gracie Klumpp, an autistic artist, who is one of my favorite illustrators of ALL TIME!

Here is a peek at some of the concept art:

White ink stained hand holds sketchbook. Hand written text reads brains experience the world differently.
Sketchbook surrounded by materials. Pencil drawn face with wide eyes and jagged lines. Text reads: Without modulation you would sense every little thing at once and you wouldn't be able to focus. This is called overstimulation.

This is just the beginning so if you want to help the project come to life hop over to Indiegogo to pledge or preorder.

If you do plan to pledge please do so early. The first 24 hours are the most critical for crowdfunding campaigns and help us reach outside our personal networks.

Handwritten text says Join the Hype Team!

We are also recruiting a hype team to help us spread the word. The best way to make an impact is to tell one friend who you think would love this book.

If you want to help us out click here for blurbs and images you are free to share. 💫

To protect our energy levels we are running this campaign for one week. My launch last year was two weeks and keeping that launch energy for 14 days was too much for me. (Most of you pledged the first or last day anyway so I figure what’s the point?!) 😂

That means you’re going to hear from me 2-3 time this week. It’s a book launch thing and I promise I won’t make a habit of it.

I’m not sure a trailer had ever made me tear up before. This film is loosely based on Steven Spielberg’s life and I seem to be relating pretty deeply to his mama.

Listen

I’ve learned this week that you can purchase the soundtrack for Cozy Grove (the game I mentioned earlier this month). 🎧🥰

This music + my noise cancelling headphones = just what I needed during launch week.

Text reads: Cozy Grove. Image: scout and bear roasting marshmallows over campfire with tent in the background.

too many tabs

This section is ann inspiration to browse and close the tabs I keep open on Safari. I am always dangerously close to the 500 tab limit. Hopefully these creative breadcrumbs offer some inspiration.

Jaunty grey bellied bird with black and vibrant sky blue head and tail

The Superb Fairy Wren is definitely magic. I discovered this bird through a sweet little video on Instagram by someone I’ve forgotten. (Do pipe up in comments if it was you!) Photo via Flickr


That’s it for now.

Thanks for all your support, always. 🥰
