“Beautiful honest book. Fabulous illustrations. Billy starts school in September [he has to go to main stream regardless that his EHCP says 1.1.] As a result I will be giving this to his teacher for her to read to his class mates. Hopefully it will open up a conversation and ultimately give them more understanding. Thanks Lisa looking forward to the next one.”

“This is a fabulous book for everyone to read and hopefully shed some light onto the trials and tribulations of coping with autism. Lisa is telling her story from experiences with her 3 gorgeous boys. A brilliant read. I’ve bought one for my grandsons school and will look forward to anything else Lisa has time to produce. Thank you Lisa.”

“This is a gorgeously illustrated book with a beautiful message that readers of all ages can learn from. It celebrates understanding, acceptance, and the importance of seeing each person for their beautifully unique self. Some children communicate, play, and express joy in ways that may look a little, or very, different from others. They may also experience the world differently; things that many people barely notice, such as certain noises or bright lights, can feel overwhelming or dysregulating, while the ways they calm or regulate themselves during moments of struggle may be noticeably different. To an outside observer, especially an inquisitive child, these differences can naturally raise questions. This book thoughtfully highlights that different does not mean less. Its heartfelt message encourages empathy, compassion, inclusion, and an appreciation for the many ways people experience and engage with the world.”

“A beautiful book filled with such kind, heartfelt words. Reading this with my autistic son was incredibly emotional. As we read together, he told me, “Mum, I hum at school because it helps me.” Without this book, I may never have known that this is something he does to help himself. This story opens up important conversations and gives both neurotypical and neurodiverse children a valuable insight into how autistic children experience the world. It encourages understanding, empathy, and acceptance in such a gentle, accessible way. The illustrations are absolutely fantastic and perfectly complement the story. This is a little treasure of a book and an absolute must-read for families, schools, and anyone wanting to better understand autism. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

★★★★★

“This is a genuinely lovely book. The illustrations are beautiful, and the writing is warm, honest and respectful. It will give parents and educators a way of introducing children to concepts around neurodiversity and difference in a gentle and accessible way. So many children and families will recognise themselves in these pages, and I can't wait to share it with the families I support.”

★★★★★

“Beautiful book that I'll be sharing with my 7yr old granddaughter. It is well written and it's a great way to share with little ones about their peers that may have a special way of communicating.”

★★★★★

“Three Brave Explorers is a beautifully written and thoughtfully designed children’s book that opens the door to meaningful conversations about neurodiversity from an early age. The story is engaging, the illustrations are warm and inviting, and the language is accessible for young readers. What makes this book particularly special is that it doesn’t simply explain autism, it celebrates differences with kindness, empathy and joy. The addition of free communication resources further demonstrates the author’s commitment to making the book as inclusive and practical as possible. A wonderful resource for families, nurseries and primary schools alike.”
