Tell us more!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synaesthesia is an intriguing condition where the senses get mixed up in often very unusual and myriad ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have had synaesthesia all my life. When I tried to explain it to others as I was growing up nobody seemed to understand what I meant.\u00a0 It was not until the internet arrived that I discovered it is a recognised condition experienced by a minority.\u00a0 I think it is a condition that is under-represented in children\u2019s picture books and the mysterious and often (though not always) delightful ways in which it can present itself seems to lend itself to a picture book.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dove-spread-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dove-spread-1-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dove-spread-1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dove-spread-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dove-spread-1-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dove-spread-1-1536x832.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dove-spread-1-2048x1109.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, your own experience was the inspiration for Anna\u2019s story, can you tell us a bit more about your synaesthesia?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cannot approach synaesthesia from a scientific point of view, but from what I have read on this endlessly fascinating subject is that it\u2019s a neurological phenomenon which always begins in early childhood which seems to indicate that it occurs at the brain\u2019s developmental stage. I can only explain it as a \u2018crossing over of the senses\u2019 where one sense automatically triggers another involuntarily \u2013 a crossing of wires. When the brain activates one sense it mistakenly allows other sensory processing to activate. Because there are five main senses there are, by definition, endless presentations of how they can combine!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Honey-spread-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Honey-spread-1-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Honey-spread-1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Honey-spread-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Honey-spread-1-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Honey-spread-1-1536x832.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Honey-spread-1-2048x1109.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My synaesthesia presents predominantly as visual so that whenever I hear or read a word, name, day of the week, or month, country, or city, or even numbers a colour instantly flashes up. It is so embodied in my daily life that I cannot separate it out. For example, Tuesday flashes up a sparkly silver colour \u2014 my Tuesdays are imbued with this colour, all day, along with a feeling of sparkly shininess \u2013 this never changes no matter what is happening in my life. A synaesthete\u2019s sense combination experience is set in stone from the moment it appears in childhood. It never changes and is there for life.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s your favourite moment in the book and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love that every spread offers a different perspective on synaesthesia. I especially love that each day is imbued with a different colour which is common for synaesthetes. The illustrator Maria Luisa Petrarca took a very difficult subject to portray and depicted it so beautifully and, in my mind, perfectly. Thursday feels particularly special to me wrapped in deep red like a secret which is how my Thursdays feel. But I am mindful that every synaesthete has different sense experiences. Many see the days of the week in colour but not everyone\u2019s Thursday will be red!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Thursday-Red-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Thursday-Red-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Thursday-Red-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Thursday-Red-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Thursday-Red-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Thursday-Red-1536x832.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Thursday-Red-2048x1109.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do hope that this book will open up interesting conversations about what the senses are and the topsy turvy way that they might combine together in synaesthetes.
