PERMISSION TO BE PECULIAR - APPLE VERSION

PERMISSION TO BE PECULIAR

The book you didn’t know you needed.

Welcome to a world where stitched chaos meets quiet noticing - and both are welcome.

This is not just a book. It’s a love letter to those who colour outside the lines, who speak fluent mischief, who feel a bit too much or not quite enough.

Told in two parts, Permission to Be Peculiar is both a rebellion and a refuge:

PART ONE: THE STITCHUATIONISTS

Meet a glorious gang of stitched characters - from a graffiti granny to a man who can smell feelings. These are rebels with soft seams and strong opinions, each one stitched from scraps of stubborn hope. They’re not perfect. They’re peculiar. And they’re proud.

PART TWO: (DIS)CONNECTED

Real-world stories stitched from moments of noticing - on trains, in waiting rooms, in the quiet gaps between people. These stories don’t shout. They sit beside you gently and say:

“I see you.”

“You’re not alone.”

The book includes over 130 pages of illustrated stories, plus a 48-minute video reading by the author as a bonus download. This Apple version includes light animation on 12 pages.

Read it if you’re a dreamer. Read it if you’re tired. Read it if you’ve ever been made to feel like you didn’t quite fit.

This isn’t just words and pictures on a page.

It’s a stitched spark.

And it might just change how you see the world.
