Introducing XTERMIGATOR KIDS: Empowering Children to Embrace Unseen Disabilities

Friendly Ferns Publishing proudly announces the launch of XTERMIGATOR KIDS, an inspiring children’s book series dedicated to celebrating neurodiversity, emotional well-being, and the strength of friendship. Created by educator and advocate Dr. Eric Fishon (also known as Dr. Disruptor) alongside co-creator Dr. Jennifer Marazzo, this vibrant platform brings unseen disabilities—like ADHD, anxiety, autism, and chronic fatigue—to the forefront in an accessible and empowering way.

At the heart of the series is XTERMIGATOR, a lovable green alligator dressed as a detective, who guides children through big emotions and tricky situations. Through whimsical storytelling and playful characters, XTERMIGATOR KIDS fosters understanding, empathy, and confidence, ensuring that every child feels seen, celebrated, and understood.

Perfect for families, educators, and advocates, this brand-new series aims to spark meaningful conversations and inspire young readers to embrace the beauty of diversity.
