Beautiful Monster: Autism Hero Saving the Environment
Wink collaborated with Singaporean author Choo Kah Ying to create illustrations for the children’s book Beautiful Monster: Autism Hero Saving the Environment
The story follows Stan, a lonely and misunderstood young man who navigates life differently due to autism. Struggling with his emotions, Stan is moved to the island of Bewali by his mother, hoping for a fresh start. Though his challenges persist, everything changes when Stan unexpectedly becomes the island's hero. This poignant tale highlights how an autistic individual can contribute meaningfully to protecting the environment and making the world a better place, brought to life through Wink’s expressive and heartfelt illustrations.
