About Cheyney Mcdonnel and "Thank You For Feeding Freckle"
Reading with a ruler was the only way Cheyney McDonnell could keep her eyes in place when looking at a book. Diagnosed with Irlen Syndrome – which is a perceptual processing disorder – her eyes jumped around the page (they still do) and it made reading difficult. But she wasn’t allowed a ruler at school, so would always choose the interactive books to get around having to read. Cheyney’s first children’s book ‘Thank you for feeding Freckle’ has been created with a younger version of herself in mind.

“Reading is important but it isn’t always enjoyable for children for various reasons. I wanted to create a book with lots of visuals and activities to keep young readers engaged and included. ‘Thank you for feeding Freckle’ is filled with bright, simple images, questions, and fun peek-a-boo flaps.” – Cheyney

‘Thank you for feeding Freckle’ is a picture book for parents to read to children between two and six years old. The story walks the reader through feeding and caring for Freckle the cat while Freckle’s owners are away. The book introduces children to responsibility and care for animals while encouraging simple decision making. It is a bridge between a storybook and a tablet. It isn’t digital, but it invites children to interact/engage with the pages.
