Sarah Tilly
A mum to a child with autism, creating gentle stories to help children understand big feelings.
Sarah Tilly writes simple, reassuring stories shaped by real-life experience that help children make sense of overwhelming emotions.
Sarah Tilly is a contributor to Steady Neuro.
Her work is inspired by real-life moments — the kinds of situations many parents recognise, where feelings become too big and hard to explain in the moment.
Through calm language and soft visuals, her books aim to give children something they can return to — helping them understand what they felt, and that those feelings can pass.
