The Adventures of Nicki and Ricky : Baffling Birds Trilogy

by Rowena Zahnrei, Illustrated by Sarah E. Steinberg (2023)

Armed with curious minds and a magnifying glass, neurodivergent sibling sleuths, six-year-old Nicki (ADHD) and eight-year-old Ricky (ASD) Goddard, investigate nature mysteries that populate their ‘everyday’ world. Nicki and Ricky find questions and answers on their own: spitballing solutions, testing and communicating ideas, collecting data, and drawing conclusions. Where their approaches diverge is exactly where they find their strengths!

Created by an Autistic educator and an ADHD artist (and parent of a nearly 8 year old), our trilogy of comics foster independent inquiry, joy in the outdoors, and a love of nature. The Science Investigators’ Workbook guides kids through the steps of storytelling AND the scientific method, to make their own comic.

I Like Tickles

By Sarah E. Steinberg (2018)

Introducing young children to bodily autonomy can be tricky, especially when what’s fun with one person doesn’t work with another. I Like Tickles shows a young child looking for animals’ signals, listening to people’s words, and knowing that even if they like a hug sometimes, they don’t have to offer it every time; a variety of situations allows caregivers the chance to talk about the preferences of the children, pets, and adults in their children’s worlds. Respect and listening are emphasized.
