Embrace the beauty of differences and learn about acceptance and understanding in this heartwarming tale about neurodiversity and shyness. For children aged 5 years and up.

Sammy's world brightens with the arrival of his new dog, Gertie. Overflowing with excitement, Sammy is ready for all the adventures ahead. But as he gets to know Gertie, he realizes she's not quite like any other dog he's encountered. Gertie doesn't like squeaky toys and avoids mingling with other pups at the park. Sammy's left wondering: What does Gertie enjoy?

Written and illustrated by debut author Siski Kalla, this book delicately explores the theme of autism, introversion, shyness, being different, and accepting that being different is okay. The picture book offers a touching narrative that resonates with readers of all ages. With its charming illustrations and moving storyline, children will easily recognize a piece of themselves and identify with the main characters.

Experience the magic of friendship and acceptance in Sammy and Gertie's world, also available in Spanish for even more readers to enjoy.

Siski Kalla (1972) is a children's book author/illustrator from the UK. Born into a storytelling family with Nordic, German and English roots, she has always loved imagining characters, settings and stories but only began illustrating 15 or so years ago. Being diagnosed autistic quite late in life, Siski wanted to write stories that might help children navigating neurodiversity, for themselves or those around them. Although Siski has illustrated titles such as I Don't Like Birthday Parties (Welbeck Children), Gertie is Not All Dogs is the first book she has both written and illustrated (Clavis Publishing) making it her author-illustrator debut.
