Good questions
FAQ
What age is the book for?
It is written first for adults — anyone roughly 25 to 70 who has known loss, loneliness, or a big life change. Children of about seven and older can read it too, ideally alongside a grown-up, because the story touches on real and tender themes.
Is this a children’s book?
It looks like a picture book, but it is not only for children. NO BOX is an illustrated fable written for adults, with a secondary welcome to older children. The pictures are gentle; the feelings are honest.
Is the story about death, divorce, or both?
The book never names a single cause. Righty simply goes missing, and the loss is left open on purpose — so it can hold grief, divorce, distance, displacement, or any change no one chose. Readers bring their own floor to it.
Is the website or book offering therapy or counselling?
No. NO BOX is a story, not treatment. It does not diagnose anything and it is not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal, or crisis support. If you are struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional or a local support service.
Can I use the free downloads?
Yes — the wallpapers and quote cards are free for personal use. Please don’t resell them or alter the artwork. Each download lists its own short usage terms.
Can schools or reading groups use the book?
Yes. There is a “For Readers” section with conversation starters, and more reading-group and classroom material is on the way. You’re also welcome to get in touch.
Where can I buy it?
Purchase links will appear on the Book page and in the Shop as soon as they are live. Until then, you can join The Wholeplace newsletter to hear the moment it’s available.
Where are merchandise orders fulfilled, and are they shipped by NO BOX?
Merchandise is made and shipped by external print-on-demand partners, and the book by Amazon. You complete those purchases on their websites, under their terms. NO BOX does not hold stock or ship orders directly.
