I love telling and illustrating stories – dynamically, sensitively and lovingly.
Higly sensitive child
A children's book for highly sensitive, sensitive, less sensitive and insensitive people.
25% of people are considered highly sensitive. They process stimuli more intensively than others. They become overwhelmed more quickly. While empathetic and compassionate, they are also labelled as whiny or oversensitive and consequently feel like they are »too much«. Yet this character trait holds enormous potential: feeling a lot and giving a lot can also have great social value for the common good. With my children’s book, I primarily want to raise awareness and educate. The level of suffering can be particularly high for children – often when they start school. The school system has so far been barely geared towards supporting particularly sensitive children. When developing the story, it was important to me not only to reach highly sensitive children, but also parents, educators, and less sensitive people. Because they are the ones who provide support – and have a significant influence on how healthily a sensitive person can develop.
