Teach to Care Books
These are the illustrated children’s books I currently have published, with many more on the way!

On this page you’ll find links to full previews of the books’ contents, which I’ve made freely available to view prior to purchase, given that they’re intended for teaching purchases and children.
Note: Watermarks upon images are present in previews only, not in printed copies of the books.

The books are available through Amazon, however, I do also accept personal sales within Australia, as this offers a greater profit margin that assists me in creating future books.

PDF Versions available through Ko-Fi

This book is also available as a PDF through my ko-fi shop at a FREE minimum price of $0, however there is the option to pay more if you choose to, as this helps support me in creating future works. The only exception to this is “More You is more than okay, never less” which has a set minimum price of $5 also with the option to pay more to help support me in making future books.

 The PDF versions of this book can be found at the shop of:

Important Note:

The PDF version of all my books, while in their entirety, DO feature the same illustration watermarks as shown in the previews here. It’s not a decision I wanted to make, however, there have been incidents of bad-players taking the book content of others and uploading them to Amazon as their own works, which can cause copyright infringement issues for the original creators. I sincerely hope this doesn’t detract from the message and validation that I hope this book offers to you and others.


For Refund Policies, please see note at bottom of this page.

This is not your stone is a book that aims to help both children and adults in navigating the complex issue of what it means to have suffered the trauma of abuse, be it physical or emotional.

The book offers a sympathetic, but honest, discussion of the many emotions trauma may inspire while also highlighting that those who’ve suffered are not alone in that, and that there are others who can help to carry the weight that this might bring.

More You is more than okay, never less is a book for both children (and adults) that explores not only the Autistic experience but also many Neurodivergent traits that can overlap with this, as well as explaining these individual traits from the perspective of those who matter - the people who are experiencing them. The book not only seeks to validate these experiences, but also inform others of how to best accommodate the needs of Neurodivergents and why... In all settings from early education in childhood to the more complex environments that adults also often face.
