"An excellent book, easy to read and understand, highlighting the many reasons why certain foods are not always suitable for us all. Treats are important for us all and this book encourages us to include everyone with fairness and kindness." - Mrs T

"It made me cry. Especially love that the word "autism" isn't actually used so it can be comfortably read with children still waiting to be diagnosed." - E's mum

"Darling, You’re a Daisy is a beautifully illustrated children’s book inspired by a mother’s desire to challenge some of the negative perceptions that can surround neurodivergence and celebrate the strengths that come with thinking differently.

 

Using the analogy of a field of flowers, the book explores the idea that, just as every flower is different, every brain is different too. Neurodivergent brains may experience and interact with the world in different ways, but those differences don’t make them any less valuable, capable or worthy.

 

It is sensitively written, using simple yet powerful language to convey the message that being different is something to celebrate, not something to hide. I particularly loved the additional features, including a glossary of neurodivergence-related terms, inspirational quotes from well-known figures, space for children to record their own thoughts and reflections, and even a fun wordsearch.

 

The illustrations throughout are absolutely beautiful, adding to the warmth and charm of the book without distracting from its important message.

 

I think this would be a lovely book for children and families, whether they have personal experience of neurodivergence or simply want to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of how differently people can experience the world. It would also make a valuable addition to a school or classroom library, providing an accessible starting point for conversations around neurodiversity and difference more broadly — including differences in culture, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender and family circumstances.

 

For its beautiful illustrations, thoughtful and inclusive message, and the wide range of readers it could appeal to, this is a 5-star read from me!" - Rise and Shine Tuition, Salisbury

How Do I Know How I feel?

"My son, E loved this book. Just wow made Dad think a lot and made Dad and E have a conversation (which I loved and to be fair had a little cry.) My thoughts : this should be in all school throughout the ages and in colleges and make teachers access it before they are allowed to teach as this book would of helped E so much. I’ve been saying it for years. It would of been amazing to have this to show them what I mean." - E's mum
