In Johnny’s world quiet is best, but how can you share your ideas and feelings if you don’t use your voice?
The purpose of this book is to celebrate the act of painting and its ability to express emotions and feelings that can sometimes be difficult to communicate in other ways.
The simple narrative follows Johnny Carroll-Pell, an artist who is diagnosed as severely autistic, on his creative journey, using sumptuous imagery that celebrates the texture, movement and colour of paint on canvas.

“Painting is his chosen outlet of expression ... There is a spontaneity and energy about his work that is compelling.” Veronica Groocock, Literary Life
“Johnny paints … that feeling you get when you finally jump off the diving board and whoosh towards the water.” Frank Cottrell Boyce, screenwriter & novelist
“Johnny is a true artist: prolific, instinctive and with a profound and purposeful sense of space, shape and colour.” Jessica Hynes, actress, director & writer
