A Silent Story is a heartfelt & art-filled graphic novel that walks us through the loss & loneliness at the end of a relationship. With over 90 pages of emotional art, and a vulnerable & relatable character, the pages of A Silent Story bring us out of the dark, where we emerge with renewed hope & contentment.
Emotional connection through art
“A Silent Story is a book of art that tells the story friendship, heartbreak, sadness, strength, happiness and joy. How can a book with no words do that? Well first the amazing artwork pulls you in and then you tell yourself YOUR STORY. Your story of struggle/pain and YOUR strength to overcome and keep going. I instantly identified with the Seeker (main character). The Seeker brings out emotions that are so strong, raw and real. I think my favorite part about the book is the feeling of connection. You know that others have felt this same way and that you are not alone. Thank you for sharing A Silent Story with the world.”

This book is a treasure!
“I love your raw vulnerability. I wear my heart on my sleeve and it’s not always welcomed by everyone. I love the contrast in character of the seeker to your other paintings…it’s just as you said, pure emotion! Our emotions need to be loved as they are- without the makeup, the hair, the clothes. The seeker is enough the way she is! WE are enough the way we are! I have “read” or should I say gazed through the pages of your silent story many times already and each time finding some new symbolism in your painting! It’s like a treasure hunt!”

The book is beyond wonderful. It’s a gift to the world
“I have just experienced the book now for the first time. I am speechless. My throat started tightening. My eyes filled up with tears. Then I broke in tears. One image hit me so hard, but when I finally got near the end, the two pages were the most beautiful things my eyes have ever seen. Then I turned to the last page. My god. Then I started crying all over again! The book is beyond wonderful. It’s a gift to the world and your legacy that will stay here for many years to come. It’s such an amazing achievement, Katie, to give this to the world, to go through pain and turn it into art, there is no more meaning in life than this (aside from being a mama). I love it. Thank you for the Seeker, thank you for the Silent Story. The face of the other person, the cold, stone cold wall that she is trying to break through but there is just nothing. It’s so painful. And you captured that so very well, and then he just turns around while she stands there with her heart, open and vulnerable. And then the child’s hug can’t reach all the way, the sadness is so great that even those hugs can’t spread the warmth all the way to her head. And then you meet another friendly soul and even though you think you are trying to protect your heart, you can open it again and be the person that doesn’t turn away, be the person who can comfort the other, the person you so badly needed when you needed comforting. It’s just human nature, I think: we heal and love again, even though sometimes it feels like we will never open our hearts because we won’t be able. But she let go, found her happiness again, found her heart again, put it back and gave it to the world… And the little birdie is so cute.”

Sharing a universal emotional experience
“Katie’s work on A Silent Storybook offers readers a poetic illustration of universally felt emotions. The incredible experience of bringing complex subjects of love and loss together with imagery, colour and heart. Her talent in painting and the evolution of work across the many pages is a testament to Katie’s expertise and passion. No words are needed to follow the storyline and reflect on where these raw moments of grief, sadness, isolation, curiosity, love, and awe have shown up in my own life. The colours create beauty in all of the scenes and gracefully help the story come to life for each person that enjoys its pages.”

Amazing!
“Your book is amazing, Katie ❤️ Going from losing a good friend and being in dark despair with a broken heart, to finding friendship and new hope. You’re special in so many ways. I LOVE you ❤️”

You don’t read this book, you experience it fully
“I cannot count the number of times I have wept over the beautiful paintings portraying The Seeker’s journey through heartbreak and hope. Through intense and deeply intentional artistry, Katie’s Seeker carries us through too-familiar and vulnerable territory to a place where our hearts can begin to rejoice again. A Silent Story is heart wrenching, healing, and hugely purposeful in a world where so many of us wear the scars of a broken relationship and need this validation that we are not alone. Thank you so much Katie for what you have done here, your paintings strum the heartstrings and give new life to The Seeker in all of us. The book is truly gorgeous, the quality is absolutely lovely and it is the perfect size to revel in the artwork.”

“This is a beautiful gift you have created… that subtle nod/appreciation of the journey we go on… It is an empathetic, compassionate, creative all-knowing interpretation of life. My interpretation of what you were conveying might not be 100% accurate. But it caused me to literally ball my eyes out crying at work, because it touched my heart and gave me goosebumps.” ~ A.O.
A Unique and beautiful portrayal of emotions
“From the first page of the book, the wordless story takes off to allow for personal interpretation of the seekers journey, who’s there, like a friend, throughout the book. The situations and emotions are displayed showing vulnerability , raw emotions and healing. As an avid collector of Katie’s paintings, I was not disappointed in the beautiful artwork bursting on every page.”

“SO MANY feelings in this book…”
“The book came in…it’s perfect and I’m so grateful you could share this experience with the world, on a topic that words always fail to communicate effectively on. Selah (5 years old) is enamored with it…she was flipping through in awe and said ‘wow daddy, there are SO MANY feelings in this book. Can we think about these feelings?'”
~ Michael W.

It’s a real treasure!
“First about physical book: The paper quality, the print quality, the colors the size! It’s all perfect!!! And the main part, about the storyline! It has no words but it tells you so many stories. Each page will walk you through emotions, feelings and story of your own not only author. Depending on your mood, you will see something they will find reflection within your soul!”
