Kiva, Rosemary & Hildegard
I'm writing a children's book series about herbal medicine — the adventures of Kiva, Rosemary and Hildegard, and the plants they meet along the way.
Interested in keeping in the loop? Join the mailing list for updates about illustrations, the Kickstarter, and publishing news.
I'll only use this to share news about the book. No newsletter unless you ask for one, and never passed to anyone else. Stephanie Tyton, Nova Scotia · matrescera@gmail.com
Please never put garlic — or garlic oil — in your eyes.
One of the sample images below contains a serious error: it shows garlic oil being used as eye drops. That is not a traditional use, it is not safe, and it can cause real harm to the eye. The original text said ear drops. Garlic oil has a long history of use in the ear for earache, but even that should only be done with clean hands, properly prepared oil, and never with a suspected perforated eardrum. Please speak to a health professional before using anything in an ear or an eye.
About these images. All illustrations shown here are AI-generated placeholders, made while I work with my illustrator to develop the look and feel of the series. They are mood and layout studies only — not final art, and not by my illustrator.
The text written on these pages is also AI-generated. It is not my writing and is not representative of the book. Some of it is simply wrong (see the warning above). Please don't take any of the herbal information in these images as guidance.
