Wren's Picture Puzzles: A Story About Thinking in Pictures And Finding Meaning in Words

A heartwarming tale that celebrates neurodivergent minds and the beauty of thinking differently.

When Uncle Joe says "it's raining cats and dogs," Wren doesn't just hear an expression-she sees fluffy tails and soft paws tumbling from the clouds. When fishing line gets tangled and difficult, she doesn't call it "a piece of cake"-she says it's "like eating soup with a fork."

Join Wren on a magical day at Uncle Joe's lake house, where idioms become picture puzzles and every saying sparks her imagination. Through fishing mishaps, campfire s'mores, and gentle conversations, this story celebrates the unique way some children process language-not as a limitation, but as a gift.
