Wren the Alien (And Other Truths She Knows)A tender, beautifully illustrated story for children who feel differentSometimes feeling different means you're exactly who you're meant to be.

Wren has always wondered if she came from somewhere else-not somewhere scary, just somewhere quieter. A place where stars shimmer without buzzing, people listen and speak softly, and kindness is the language everyone knows.

In this deeply moving and gorgeously illustrated picture book, young readers will follow Wren as she navigates a world that often feels too loud, too fast, and too confusing. While others seem to have invisible instructions for fitting in, Wren feels like an alien learning to wear a costume with secret buttons labeled ""normal"" and zippers marked ""fit in.""

But Wren possesses extraordinary gifts: she notices the hidden patterns others miss, feels emotions like weather, and hears what hearts are trying to say even when no one speaks. Her sensitivity isn't a weakness-it's her superpower.

Perfect for:

Children ages 4-10 who feel ""different"" or struggle to fit in Neurodivergent children and their families Highly sensitive children Parents and educators seeking books about self-acceptance Anyone who has ever felt like they don't quite belong

What makes this book special:

Authentic representation of the neurodivergent experience, especially for girls Beautiful, whimsical illustrations that complement the lyrical text A hopeful message about embracing differences as strengths Written by an author who understands the experience firsthand

From late-diagnosed neurodivergent author Erin Doyle comes a story that validates every child who has been told they are ""too much"" or ""too quiet""-a gentle reminder that being different isn't something to hide, but something to honor.

""Deep down, she knew... Being different didn't mean broken.""

About the Author: Erin Doyle writes from her own experience of feeling like an alien as a child, navigating a hypersensitive nervous system and a brain wired for too many connections. Her Wren's Way series has touched thousands of families seeking authentic representation for neurodivergent children.

Erin Doyle is a writer, artist, and late-diagnosed autistic mother of four who crafts lyrical children's stories that honor sensitivity, wonder, and the quiet power of being different. Through her beloved Wren's Way series, Erin draws from her own childhood and parenting journey to create emotionally rich books that help children feel seen. When she's not writing or painting, you'll find her wandering through nature, stargazing, or deep in thought, always listening for the hidden poetry of the world.
