On 1st November 2025, Caring Matters Now launched their first, brand new children’s storybook; Didi, the Wolf & The Starry Tattoos. Written & illustrated by valued Caring Matters Now member Dahlia Miriam Gaine.
In the book, we meet Didi, a young girl born with Congenital Melanocytic Naevus (CMN), as she begins her first year at school, navigating curiosity, finding confidence, and discovering her tribe. This empowering children’s story uses captivating illustrations to help young readers see the beauty in visible differences and celebrate the uniqueness of every individual.
