      <g:title>How It Feels to Me (Autism Edition)</g:title>
      <g:description>This is a preorder for the autistic edition of &lt;i&gt;How it Feels to Me&lt;/i&gt;. 

This edition has minor changes to the text to center autistic experience and is meant to be a resource to families, teachers, and therapists who are teaching about autism specifically. Additional types of neurodivergence are mentioned as a footnote.

&lt;a href="https://shop.sarahshotts.com/product/how-it-feels-to-me-paperback"&gt;If you are looking for paperbacks or would like to donate a copy to a school or library click here.&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;i&gt;How it Feels to Me&lt;/i&gt; is a picture book about autism for all ages. We would like children and adults to learn about differences in sensory modulation to better understand themselves and each other. We hope readers will take away an understanding that their sensory experience (and that of others) is valid. Sensory modulation is the brain's automatic process of turning the intensity of senses up or down. This book explores the science behind how we each experience the world.

Sarah Shotts (author) grew up without understanding why the world felt so loud and scratchy and overwhelming. Being diagnosed as autistic and raising an autistic child helped them understand their differences as neurodivergence rather than character flaws. Sarah studied visual and performing arts in university, earning degrees from Mississippi University for Women and Goldsmiths, University of London.

Gracie Klumpp (illustrator) always felt different, but didn't know what to call it or how to embrace it until they were already grown up. As an illustrator and graphic novelist, Gracie is learning to lean into the unique way they see, exist, and create in the world. Trained in animation at Huntington University, Gracie likes to tell stories with words and pictures for other people who feel like they've fallen between the cracks of life.

      <g:title>Vibrant Hummingbird Sensory Pendant (Preorder)</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;h2&gt;PREORDER Vibrant Hummingbird Sensory Pendant&lt;/h2&gt;

This pendant is a sensory support tool recommended for autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, and other types of neurodivergence. It helps regulate the nervous system with gentle vibration. It supports calm, focus and emotional regulation in everyday moments.

The Vibrant Hummingbird pendant is quiet and discreet. It is a wearable, hands-free device is designed to aid auditory, tactile and vestibular stimming, hyperactivity, and stress.

&lt;h2&gt;HOW DOES IT WORK?&lt;/h2&gt;

Press the easy-to-find circle button once.
The pendant will begin vibrating gently.

Press the circle button again.
The vibration will stop immediately.

&lt;h2&gt;WHAT'S INCLUDED&lt;/h2&gt;

- Silky soft food-grade silicone casing
- Built-in vibration motor
- USB charging cable
- Magnetic charging port (rear side)
- LED charging indicator 
- Easy-to-find circular button
- Child safe necklace with breakaway clasp

&lt;h2&gt;IMPORTANT NOTES&lt;/h2&gt;

Each person’s sensory needs are unique, and that not all sensory tools will be suitable for everyone. 

&lt;b&gt;Vibrant Hummingbird pendants are not designed for rough play, repetitive fidgeting, pulling, or chewing.&lt;/b&gt; They are intended to be used under supervision during moments of stimming or distress to provide calming sensory input. When used outside of these guidelines, damage to the pendant may occur.

Vibration can be quite strong for some people. Everyone is different and we cannot guarantee it will be the right frequency for you.

Suitable for children over the age of three and adults alike.

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Please note this is a PREORDER for US based customers. Please allow time for pendants to be shipped from Australia.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;STORY TIME&lt;/h2&gt;

I'm an autistic artist and author and don't usually sell products. But after holding this pendant in an overstimulating children's museum I noticed an immediate calming effect on my nervous system. 

But I also knew I was lucky to be holding it. After spending weeks looking for something similar in the US I gave up and asked an Australian friend to order it for me.

Feeling the benefits I wanted more people to have access to this support tool. So I sent an email asking if it would be possible to stock the sensory pendants for US customers on my author website. And they said yes! 

We hope this collaboration helps more people access Vibrant Hummingbird Pendants at an affordable cost.

&lt;i&gt;Where is international shipping?&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;a href="https://sarahshotts.com/ship-worldwide/"&gt;Click here for International Shipping.&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;I&gt;Why did my book arrive from Amazon?&lt;/I&gt;

I'm using Amazon to print and fulfill orders for this project. With contributors from around the globe this was the best way to make these books affordable to everyone. 

But orders placed through my website (or the crowdfunding campaign) are author copies and &lt;i&gt;Amazon does not get a cut. &lt;/i&gt;

I've made this choice for Entwined &amp; Ember to offer affordable shipping around the world and to make the book discoverable to anyone searching Amazon. </g:description>

A NOTE ON BOOK PRINTING
Paperbacks were printed in a small run by 48 Hour Books. Hardcovers are print on demand from Amazon, but orders placed through my website (or the crowdfunding campaign) are author copies and &lt;i&gt;Amazon does not get a cut. I've made this choice for hardcovers because I was not happy with hardcover quality from 48 Hour Books.</g:description>

&lt;I&gt;Why did my book arrive from Amazon?&lt;/I&gt;

I'm using Amazon to print and fulfill orders for this project. With contributors from around the globe this was the best way to make these books affordable to everyone. 

But orders placed through my website (or the crowdfunding campaign) are author copies and &lt;i&gt;Amazon does not get a cut. &lt;/i&gt;

I've made this choice for Entwined &amp; Ember to offer affordable shipping around the world and to make the book discoverable to anyone searching Amazon. </g:description>

      <g:title>How It Feels to Me (Hardcover Preorder)</g:title>
      <g:description>This is a preorder for a hardcover collector's edition of &lt;i&gt;How it Feels to Me&lt;/i&gt;. A signed bookplate, postcard, and bookmark will be shipped separately.

&lt;a href="https://shop.sarahshotts.com/product/how-it-feels-to-me-paperback"&gt;If you are looking for paperbacks or would like to donate a copy to a school or library click here.&lt;/a&gt;

We will reach out to confirm addresses before the books go to the printer. If you choose to donate a book we'll also check in to ask where you'd like it to go.

&lt;i&gt;How it Feels to Me&lt;/i&gt; is a picture book about neurodiversity for all ages. We would like children and adults to learn about differences in sensory modulation to better understand themselves and each other. We hope readers will take away an understanding that their sensory experience (and that of others) is valid. Sensory modulation is the brain's automatic process of turning the intensity of senses up or down. This book explores the science behind how we each experience the world.

Sarah Shotts (author) grew up without understanding why the world felt so loud and scratchy and overwhelming. Being diagnosed as autistic and raising an autistic child helped them understand their differences as neurodivergence rather than character flaws. Sarah studied visual and performing arts in university, earning degrees from Mississippi University for Women and Goldsmiths, University of London.

Gracie Klumpp (illustrator) always felt different, but didn't know what to call it or how to embrace it until they were already grown up. As an illustrator and graphic novelist, Gracie is learning to lean into the unique way they see, exist, and create in the world. Trained in animation at Huntington University, Gracie likes to tell stories with words and pictures for other people who feel like they've fallen between the cracks of life.

A NOTE ON BOOK PRINTING
Hardcovers are printed on demand from Amazon, but orders placed through my website (or the crowdfunding campaign) are author copies and &lt;i&gt;Amazon does not get a cut. I've made this choice for hardcovers because I was not happy with hardcover quality from 48 Hour Books.</g:description>
