"Our story is a story thats happening right now, to other families in systems around the world. To those families, I want to say: I see you, and I want shine a light on your experiences so you know you are not alone."

In this heart-warming and supportive new book, The Sunday Times bestselling author and illustrator Eliza Fricker lifts parents of neurodivergent kids from the dark days of grappling with impenetrable, underfunded systems, and shows them how life can become brighter - often by finding joy in the things that may seem small to everyone else but are huge milestones for our children.

Honest, full of humour and laced with advice that can be implemented into hectic day-to-day life, this is the little shot of hope that will keep you going when times seem toughest.

  • There are so many parents navigating thorny educational systems who might feel exhausted, misunderstood, unheard, frustrated, alone and much more. This book speaks to some of those parents. It is written in an accessible and engaging way by a parent for parents to offer them a much needed sense of solidarity, support, and understanding. -Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist, Trainer, and Author of multiple books.

    I adore Elizas words, especially paired with her illustrations which offer a glimpse into the intricate dynamics of raising sensitive children in the modern world. She simplifies grand concepts allowing them to land directly into my heart. All of her books inspire this. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the families of the world. -Kirsten M. Cobabe, MSW, Family Coach, Teen Whisperer

    This is the perfect book for parents who cannot get The System to listen them -- or to their child. Eliza Fricker is the companion youll want if you find yourself walking this exasperating journey. A story told with moving words, gripping drawings, and lashings of compassion. -Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental Psychologist
