BOOK DESCRIPTIONS

Are your eyes listening? is a unique collection of some of Sarah’s most heart-warming and heartwrenching poems, reflections and essays. Through her vivid imagery, she takes readers inside “the beast [autism],” but also reveals the special gifts it imparts.

The critically acclaimed book is about more than autism, however; rather, it is a book about life. From family to oceans, coffee to snowflakes, writing to love—she shares her insights about each, and in doing so, puts herself in the company of other great young writers.

Do-si-Do with Autism, for children, is a delightful introduction to the importance and joy of building meaningful relationships with those who have autism and other developmental disabilities.

The book’s star is Taylor, the turtle with autism, who shares what it is like to feel pain from the overwhelming movements and sounds around him. His feelings are especially pronounced on square dance day at school when, filled with dread, he retreats to the sidelines and finds solace in his beloved books. To his surprise, however, his classmates follow his lead and, in doing so, begin to focus less on their differences and more on all they have in common.

An accompanying DVD for teachers and parents is in the works.

The Keepsake Collection is a beautifully designed line of inspirational and heartwarming booklets. The 12-page (5x7) keepsakes serve as both booklet and greeting card that can be read and reread year-round.

The keepsakes can also be used to mark special occasions like holidays, birthdays, weddings, and Mother’s and Father’s Day, among others. They can also be used as thank-you’s for valued board members clients and co-workers, as well as premiums for fund-raising drives.

Sarah’s Keepsakes include Nest Feathers: A celebration of family, home and memories shared and Heart and Spirit: Words to comfort, inspire and share.
