LEO & THE OCTOPUS

A stylish, sensitive picture book focusing on Asperger's Syndrome in a unique and humorous way.

The world was too bright for Leo.

And too loud.

"I must be living on the wrong planet," Leo thought.

Leo struggles to make sense of the world. He doesn't understand the other children in his class, and they don't seem to understand him. But then one day, Leo meets Maya.

Maya is an octopus, and the more Leo learns about her, the more he thinks that perhaps he isn't alone in this world, after all.

Written by Isabelle Marinov and Illustrated by me.

Originally published by Templar Publishing.

Available now through Allen and Unwin in AUS and through Templar Books.
