From transitioning to a new pair of shoes to tackling big jobs like cleaning up a mess, join neurodivergent siblings Roscoe & Ivy as they experience everyday adventures. Notes at the end of the book offer gentle guidance on introducing kids to new scenarios and doing big tasks. This series was created by a neurodivergent author and illustrator who draw on their own lived experiences.
Eleni Tassopoulos Wehner is the author of the Roscoe & Ivy series (Barefoot Books, Autumn 2025), inspired by real-life strategies she uses with her neurodivergent children. An AuDHD woman, she writes to increase realistic representation of autistic and other neurodivergent children and their families. Eleni lives with her husband and kids in Missouri, where their home is full of compassion, creativity, and laughter.

Danamarie Hosler is an autistic illustrator, fiber artist, and muralist based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Her work is based around the idea that art should be accessible to all people, in all forms, and she considers her work to be equal parts art, education, and advocacy. In those rare moments when she’s not making art, you can find her perfecting her macarons and croissants, or bird watching.
