Buy the book as a gift for someone - and add your personal touch!
This book comes with an A6 format card. On the front is a print of the "ball", the backside is empty for you to write your personalized message. The card is bio-degradable and contains a mix of bee-friendly flowerseeds (EU origin). This allows the card to be ceremoniously buried in the garden and bring some joy a few months later!
Instructions for the germinating of the seeds:
1. Properly drench the card
2. Place the card on the soil
3. Cover with a little soil (layer of 1-1.5 cm thick)
4. Water daily in the beginning - make sure the paper stays wet so it dissolves
5. Patience!
This story came into existence in a moment of inspiration during the memorial service of little Solly, who passed away in the hospital a few days after he was born. I wrote and illustrated the book as a gift for his parents shortly after.
After hearing how they continue to read "Different" to their now growing family, keeping Solly's memory a part of their story, I came to realize that this book may be relevant and helpful to many more people.
May it be an encouragement to all whose stories turn out a bit different than expected.
