Stories That Stick Out Like A Sore Thumb
Stories that connect, heal, and matter—especially when life feels heavy.
Not all stories are meant to blend in
Some are meant to heal, connect, and remind us what matters most.
The First Story From Sore Thumb Publishing...
Do It For Me, Please!
Some books are written for children. This one is written for parents. A 32-page picture book designed for the moments when your heart is full…and especially when life feels heavy.
Watch What This Book Means
A book for parents… told in the baby’s voice
What would your child say to you if they could see how hard you try?
This is a small book with a powerful message that lifts a heavy heart...and it stays with you forever.
A meaningful keepsake for the moments when words aren’t enough.
And when something matters… it should extend beyond the moment...
Why 'Do It For Me Please' Exists
Parents carry more than anyone sees.
Stress.
Fear.
Uncertainty.
And even when we try to hide it…
children feel it.
They notice more than we think.
To a child, your presence matters more than your perfection.
After checkout, you’ll be invited to choose a nonprofit organization you care about.
You don’t pay extra.
A portion of every purchase supports the community that matters most to you.
Because strong communities grow when we support one another
This is what Sore Thumb Publishing is built on:
It's is a message. A movement. A different way of thinking
And sometimes, the way we understand these moments… changes everything.
Some stories are meant to blend in.
We believe the ones that matter most… don’t.
Everything you’ve seen here starts with that belief.
Sore Thumb Publishing isn’t just about books—
it’s about giving people the freedom to tell their story their way.
Because every story doesn’t end on the page. Some are still being written.
Every person has a story of something they’ve overcome.
This challenge is a space to share that journey.
From where you started…
to where you are now.
