Miles is a joyful, curious 7-year-old who sees the world through his own brilliant lens. As a child on the autism spectrum, he invites us to slow down, feel deeply, and find wonder in life’s quiet, everyday moments.
From LEGO builds to cake pops, water bubbles to warm cuddles—Miles discovers magic in the most unexpected places. His smile is pure sunshine, and his story will warm your heart.
Inspired by his world, this heartfelt book takes you on a colorful journey—one page at a time. Created in honor of Autism Awareness, it’s a gentle celebration of imagination, emotion, and the beauty of seeing things differently. Most of all, it’s a reminder to honor every child’s unique light—and to cherish the path that helps them shine.
Hi, I’m Miles’ dad and the author of this book. Smiley Milesy’s Colors of Joy was born out of quiet moments at home, bedtime stories filled with questions, and the colors of our everyday life with Miles. As parents, my wife and I wanted to create something that would not only encourage our son but also offer comfort and connection to other families like ours.
This story is our way of saying: you’re not alone. We know the beauty, the challenges, and the quiet victories of raising a child who sees the world differently. Every page is a reflection of that love.
Thank you for holding this book in your hands. We hope it brings joy to your home the way Miles brings joy to ours.
With gratitude,
Rex
