Something magical is happening — and you’re invited behind the wings.
I’m writing this with a full heart and ink-stained fingers because The Butterfly Farmer is no longer just a dream. It’s becoming real — line by line, wing by wing. image by image. dream by dream.
✨ The Kickstarter goes live in the next 24 hours, and with it, we begin a 60-day countdown toward something deeply hopeful.
But before that? You get a backstage pass.
Caleb — the incredible visual storyteller breathing life into the pages — has just shared a still from his inspiration board. It's rich with texture and feeling, a mix of image and memory, sketches and intention. You’ll see what I saw: tenderness, wildness, and the deep knowing of a fellow neurodiverse artist.
Together, we're mixing lived experience with storytelling. Sketching from soil. Remembering through colour. It's not just illustration — it’s alchemy.
The postcards are ready, and they’ll be the first to fly. Little messengers of metamorphosis — tactile, beautiful, and filled with promise.
There will be pre-orders, support pages, and a way to step into this growing field with us.
This is more than a book. It’s soil and soul, poetry and purpose, a delicate revolution.
For children. For carers. For the seekers and the butterflies in all of us.
It is an honour to be walking this path with Caleb. Our neurodiverse minds complement each other in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. This project is alive with colour, care, and complexity.
Thank you for walking this path with me too.
Let’s begin the countdown together. 60, 59, 58…..
With wings and wonder,
🦋 Thomas (The HoboPoet)
