A gentle, inspirational personalised story book for children who feel they don't fit in with others around them.
The world can be a scary place for some people, especially children, and understanding it is sometimes a bit daunting. This book was written for all the people that feel like they don't fit, or belong, in this world. Follow the loveable character, Dot, along his journey through the world as he figures out where he wants to go and how to get there. Things seem easier for other people, and no matter how hard Dot tries, he's just not the same. Once Dot realises he cannot be the same as others, he stops trying, and for the first time, feels happy! He makes new rules, does things his own way and life begins to get a bit easier for him.
We hope this book inspires people like Dot to just push through bouundaries that they may face, write their own rules and become happy with who they are for what they are.
