Drei Pokémon von der Wunschliste: Mew zeigt Kleinstein und Waumpel einen besonders schönen Stein. (Bin nicht so happy mit der Zeichnung, aber genau dafür ist ein Skizzenbuch ja da: kritzeln, ohne dass es perfekt sein muss).

Foto aus meinem Skizzenbuch: drei Pokemon: Mew, Kleinstein und Waumpel. Mew zeigt Kleinstein einen Stein, den es in den Händen hält, Waumpel sitzt auf dem Kopf von Kleinstein. Gezeichnet mit Polychromos.

Can you believe it I got another starred review!!!! I thought like, fine, I'll be happy if I finish the book. BUT GETTING THESE RECOGNITIONS?? (linktr.ee/adhdalien/)

A dark background with a faded adhd alien character to the left. Text states "Feeling like an ADHD Alien" and lists various prestigious reviews and recognitions. Indie next Kids choice, "Instructive and visually adorable", "Expertly tackling the topic of ADHD in a straightforward yet whimsical way, this graphic novel is a must-buy for libraries.”, "...dozens of masterfully executed visual metaphors that powerfully drive home the feelings of both having and coming-to-terms with having ADHD.”

The core mechanic of The Many Sins of House Ocampo is the family tree, which you'll need to put together piece by piece in order to reconstruct the whole story. Find clues, add them to your inventory, and figure out who everyone is, where they belong on the board, how they died, and when 🧠

Ich hab gesagt, dass ich mehr Werbung für meine Bücher machen muss, here we go! Fabulöse Fakten ist ein Comic für Groß und Klein, der auf witzige Art wissenschaftliche Themen behandelt: Sterne, Blauwale, Nacktmulle und vieles mehr könnt ihr hier kennenlernen und natürlich ist auch der Fuchs dabei!

Foto: Ein Stapel Fabulöse Fakten Comics: Das Cover ist hellblau und ein Comicfuchs mit einem Notizblock ist darauf zu sehen. Um ihn herum sind Sprechblasen mit Symbolen wie Schmetterling und Hai.

Eine Seite aus dem Comic Fabulöse Fakten. Der Comic ist Pastellfarben coloriert. Die Überschrift lautet: Das Königinnenreich der Nacktmulle Ein Nacktmull sitzt in der Mitte. In den Textboxen steht: Nacktmulle sind sehr speziell. Schon ihr Äußeres ist sehr speziell, oder? Riesige Zähne, super viele Falten, kaum sichtbare Ohren, ähm, ja nackt. Darunter ist eine Illustration von einem Nacktmull und einer Maus, die zusammen um einen riesigen Geburtstagskuchen stehen, auf dem sehr viele Kerzen brennen. Die Maus schaut etwas traurig, sie hält einen kleinen Geburtstagskuchen, auf dem nur drei Kerzen sind. Der Text dazu lautet: Nacktmulle können über 30 Jahre alt werden! Das ist unglaublich, wenn man wenn man sie mit anderen Nagern wie Mäuse und Ratten vergleicht, die nur drei Jahre alt werden.

Photo of an open book amongst some fidget toys. The text says "it's hard for people to understand why small comments make me so emotional, because they can't see how many times I've been criticized for the same thing, over and over again." The ADHD Alien character is being handed a brick, in the next panel it is revealed how many bricks she already has piling up to mountains behind her.
