A story starring your child
We made the first one for our own son. Nihan is the star of Nihan’s Big ‘No’ Day, and we wrote it only for him. It helped him learn our signals, and he is calmer now when the big feelings come.
Soon we can make one for your child too: a haircut, the dentist, a first flight, a new school.
- Tell us their name, what they look like and the big day coming up.
- We write and illustrate their story.
- Read it together before the day arrives.
The story we made for Nihan
From our home to yours
Hi, I’m Samia.
I’m a mum in Sydney. Many of these books come from our own hard days with our son Nihan, who is autistic. I’m not a therapist. I’m a parent, sharing the stories we read at home.
Every family is welcome here. If the little things feel big at your place, these stories are for you.
