The Girl Who Didn't Know How To Be; picture book written and illustrated by Lex Kartane'
Milton Keynes UK: Lightning Source UK Ltd / author, 2015. Paperback. Unpaginated, about 65p., drawings in colors with simple facing texts also color-added. A glossy softbound in 9x6 inch color wraps. Nice clean copy. Contents: an autistic-or-maybe-not girl tries to explain her self and her misery. Suicide is considered, many story-endings advanced, the reader is assigned the task of ending the book ("Do Something"). The printed authorial name is cancelled with correction tape in most of the several spots it occurs (but not on the back cover), and overwritten in holograph "Lex" and "Lex Kartane." In a long list of acknowledgements Lex mentions her sisters (plural) and further on the main dedication is to "my sister Laima" (none of the last names quite match). The lonely author also thanks, besides these forty or so special people, that she has a lot of twitter & facebook friends and spent some time in Germany.
