Trusting the Journey, Not the Timeline
As parents, we often find ourselves holding onto quiet expectations about when our children will reach certain milestones, such as taking their first steps and learning to ride a bike. But what happens when life and our incredible children decide to take a wonderfully different path? Thomas Rides Free was born from just such a moment. Krissy watched her son grapple with learning to ride a bike, a journey that didn’t quite fit the typical timeline. It was a struggle that blossomed into a profound lesson in patience, courage, and the gentle art of letting go. This isn’t just a book about two wheels and a lot of wobbles; it’s a heartfelt story about the freedom found in trusting your own pace, especially when the world seems to be racing ahead. This quiet, impactful tale is a reminder that every child reaches their own unique time, and true success isn’t measured by speed but by the beautiful journey of staying true to oneself. Discover a story that champions every child’s rhythm.
Honoring the Quiet Brilliance of Problem-Solving Minds
Sometimes, the most extraordinary solutions emerge from the most unexpected places, such as the small hands and brilliant minds of children who view the world through a wonderfully unique lens. Thomas Needs a Tool! Celebrates this ingenuity, directly inspired by Krissy’s son’s remarkable knack for creative problem-solving in everyday moments. This story shines a bright light on the often quiet yet incredibly powerful focus and original thought processes of neurodivergent children. It’s a loving tribute to the tinkerers, the silent observers, and the ingenious problem-solvers who may not shout for attention but whose contributions are profoundly valuable. This book encourages children to trust their unique way of thinking. It reminds adults to step back, allow for exploration, and embrace those moments when our children’s approaches don’t quite match our expectations. Discover how the right “tool” can sometimes be the one that fits your mind and spirit just perfectly.
