A poetic illustrated book about trying to be everything for everyone and finally choosing to be yourself
This is not a children’s book.
It just looks like one because it’s for your inner child.
It’s for anyone old enough to have felt they didn’t fit in.
Anyone who trimmed their edges or turned down their brightness just to belong. Anyone who shapeshifted to stay loved.
The Patchwork Girl is a reminder.
A reclaiming.
A declaration.
A quiet revolution stitched in color and courage.
It’s a love letter to anyone who ever hid parts of who they truly are.
A manifesto of bravery.
A witnessing.
A soft, but firm nudge toward home.
This book is a little bit cheeky,
a lot bit whimsical,
and woven with tenderness.
May you feel and remember something true in her pages.
May it find you right where you are—
and walk with you home.
With love,
Alyce
About the Book
What happens when we stop cutting parts of ourselves away to fit in?
The Patchwork Girl tells the story of a girl pieced together from many selves each representing a part of who she truly is. On her journey, she unravels the masks she wears and learns to reclaim the untamed joy of being all of herself.
This book is for those who’ve felt they’re too much. For the ones quietly piecing themselves back together. For anyone ready to live unapologetically whole.
She’s stitched from many selves each carrying its own magic, story, and truth. The Patchwork Girl is a beautifully illustrated book and poetic manifesto for anyone ready to live, lead, and create from their full spectrum.
