A story about an autistic and artistic circus virtuoso and his teddy bear
Book Synopsis
Art is autistic and artistic.
Art has just one friend - his teddy bear.
Art does not speak but he makes art.
Art that dismisses gravity.
The wordless publication crowns the artist and turns royalty into a mere audience.
The sophisticated illustrations inspire readers to express their emotions,
verbalize their feelings, and create their own stories.

REEEDSY: / Reviewed by Aneesha Shewani (five stars):
There is a lyrical melancholy that pulls you into the black sheets of sparkling wonder. I can imagine a parent narrating a bedtime story based on pure imagination, brilliantly transposed against the beautiful artwork.
