Olya Tkachenko Illustrations

This bilingual book follows the journey of Jose, a young boy who loves superheroes and is navigating life with autism. As both the illustrator and book designer, I worked to create a visual world that helps children and families understand neurodiversity through simple, empowering imagery.

The project is designed to bridge the gap in understanding autism—explaining different behaviors and communication styles in a way that is accessible and positive for young readers.

• My Role: I was responsible for the entire visual development, including character design, typography, and the book's overall layout to ensure a clear, engaging experience.

• The Goal: To help educate the world about autism, promote awareness, and celebrate the fact that every child has their own unique "superpowers."
