Lines and Leaves is the first book in the Lines and Leaves: Stories About My Brother series - a heartwarming, sensory-rich picture book told through the voice of seven-year-old Silas, who shares what it's like growing up with his younger brother Khai, who is on the autism spectrum.
On their small family farm, Silas notices that Khai sees things differently - not wrong, just different. While Silas sees a chair as a place to sit, Khai sees the distinct lines on the back and follows them with his eyes, again and again. Through quiet moments and gentle discoveries, Silas begins to understand that his brother's world isn't smaller - it's simply seen another way.
Perfect for families, classrooms, and libraries, Lines and Leaves offers a beautiful glimpse into neurodiversity, empathy, and the love between siblings. With soft watercolor-style illustrations and lyrical storytelling, this book helps children recognize that every way of seeing the world holds its own kind of magic.
