Love Doesn’t Need Words is a compassionate children’s book created to help families understand brain injury, recovery, and the many ways love can still be expressed without spoken words. Through gentle storytelling and warm illustrations, it follows a young bear learning to connect with Papa Bear after a serious accident. I developed the story, characters, visual direction, page concepts, and family-centered messaging to make a difficult subject feel safe, hopeful, and understandable for children.
