Overview
Meet Artemis - a little girl with a big personality and her own special way of growing.
Artemis is three. She loves the sound of the kettle, hates having her hair brushed, and can find a biscuit crumb from another room. She also has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects how children develop and communicate.
A warm, reassuring story about growing differently - and belonging just as you are.
Through Artemis's journey from her first days as a baby to her third birthday, young readers discover that every child develops at their own pace and that there are many ways to communicate, learn, play, and connect with the people around us.
Inside this beautifully illustrated story, children will discover:
What Angelman syndrome is, explained in simple, child-friendly language.
Why it cannot be caught through a hug, a friendship, or playing together.
How communication can take many forms, including expressions, gestures, sounds, and other ways of sharing a message.
Why patience and understanding matter when someone needs extra help or more time.
How to be an inclusive friend and help everyone feel welcome.
Created for children aged 3-7, this book offers families a gentle way to talk about disability, differences, empathy, and belonging. It is also a helpful resource for siblings, preschool teachers, caregivers, and anyone introducing a child to Angelman syndrome.
With its affectionate storytelling and everyday moments, Artemis: My Special Way of Growing celebrates the child behind the diagnosis - her individuality, her relationships, and her place in the world.
Every child has their own story. Every child deserves to belong.
Includes a guide for curious children and a note for grown-ups.
