Thumbsucker

Updated: Jun 8, 2024

Growing up knowing you are different, constantly misunderstood and considered “difficult” can be a challenging experience. However, Eliza Fricker, a bestselling author and illustrator, approaches this topic with humor, wit, and tenderness.


Eliza’s childhood filled with labels such as “spoilt,” “weirdo,” “fussy,” “hypochondriac,” and “chatterbox.” It wasn’t until she received an autism diagnosis as an adult that she finally understood why she had experienced the world so differently.


There are a lot of Eliza’s memories of growing up that I personally connect with, including thumbsucking. She delves into how neurodiversity presents itself in everyday life and what neurodivergent children truly need from their loved ones.

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land where I live and work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

I celebrate, value and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, age groups, spiritual beliefs, physical abilities and disabilities.
