"It's not about the fame, the money, or silly things like getting that little blue checkmark by my username. I do this because I want to be understood by someone, by anyone," said Forest. "It's always difficult to put myself out into the world as an introvert. Especially a deaf introvert. Yet I do this because I want to inspire others and to bring some level of comfort to myself. I love going to bed knowing that what I create has made a positive impact on the world."
dandelions and me is a 6 x 9 softcover book with cream-colored pages. It contains beautiful original linework with a focus on topics from mental health to the struggles of being a college student. The book is split into three main sections, which are: Here Again, Misery, and Passion Problems.
