Odette is an ant who questions her place in the colony, where all she does is work. Over-stressed, one day, she decides to leave the anthill to experience the freedom of creating her own world. When Odette meets Marcus, a mouse lost in a field of flowers, she decides to help him find his way home. Together, they walk a path unknown, imagine their way home, give joy and receive love. They discover simple ways to feel better. Inspired by her journey and this wonderful friendship, and determined to live with her beloved colony, Odette finds her way back home with a new sense of being and community.
Odette’s Alphabet is a children's fiction and illustrated book with a mindful story that will take parents and children to the place within the heart where we sometimes fall short on words and explanations.
The book offers a map to handle big emotions, with kindness, unity and courage. Fun and easy activities support each of the chapters accompanied by letters to encourage further exploration and deepen children’s practice for more conscious state of the mind and body. These would be found in a beautiful deck of cards, to go along with the book.
Odette is not only for children and their parents, it is the perfect story book in school settings, kids yoga studios, yoga teachers, and anyone interested in raising their awareness of this dis-ease on a collective level. To feel whole, all the parts of us need to be integrated. This is what Odette shows through her journey. She embraces who she is and so does Marcus. Adults and children will enjoy a renewed sense of connection to themselves and each other, further reinforcing the sense of belonging we all need to nourish and develop.
"Resting deep inside each one of us is a peaceful, calm, and happy place. We feel it when we give a hug, when we spend time in nature, when we play with our friends, when we laugh, & when we lay in bed at night before we fall asleep. But, every morning when we wake up, we never know what the next moment will bring – a celebration or a challenge, an excitement or a fear, a disappointment or a happiness.
We can’t control the world around us – but we always have the ability to bring our self back to that safe place inside of us… the place of the present moment… of calm… and of joy. Using the alphabet, the magical ant Odette & her new pal Marcus take us on a beautiful
journey of discovery where we can find our way back home to peace, happiness, and the sweet, safe, special space that rests inside – through spending time in nature, meeting new friends, celebrating our differences, listening to our heart, thinking good thoughts, and connecting to our breath.
It is a magnificent journey of discovery & in the process we’ll learn to meditate and live our lives from the inside out! Have fun!!!"
–davidji, author of Secrets of Meditation
"Odette's Alphabet is a playful introduction to mindfulness that can be helpful to children and adults alike. My analytical son who is not easily impressed gave it the highest praise when he said, 'This book is awesome. I wish I had this book when I was a kid."
-John Paul Abner, Ph.D., Parent Child Interaction Therapy International Master Trainer, Professor of Psychology, Milligan University; John-Phillip Abner, film student, Syracuse University.
"When it comes to children's books there are loads of options, millions to choose from but Sandrine's mindfulness, kindness, and tools we can use throughout our life are a gift to children. Imagine if we all had the awareness that we do now, the tools to help manage our emotions, mind, and stress. Its woven in such a clever way throughout Odette's Alphabet for children to comprehend and parents to share with their little ones. We can all learn from Odette's Alphabet no matter our age... the messages have no limit. The world would be a calmer place if we all practiced them a little more often. Sandrine we look forward to a future series, children need more of this!!!"
- Sara Wright, business strategist and connector
“I love Odette’s Alphabet and think it is the perfect activity for me and my boys to share together each day. We all feel stressed (adults and children) and this is a fun way to help find our peace and presence to start our day. I picture doing this as a monthly activity - each letter being a new way to start our day together. Sweet, simple and easy for any age to understand. A great reminder to stop and be present. Well done!”
-Amanda Judge, mother of two, owner and designer of UntamedPetals
"This book is wonderful and filled with love and light. The world needs this."
-Valerie Oula, vibrational energy director at The Well
Sandrine woke up one day in her New York apartment feeling out of sorts. She realized that no matter how many trips around the world her modeling career would take her on, it was only a journey within that would bring her peace; peace - something that sounded boring, she first told her therapist when he suggested she meditates to help reduce her anxiety!
Odette was about to be born.
She trained with world-renowned meditation teacher Davidji. When her training was complete she drew an ant and a sound: A, the beginning of all beginnings.
She shares free and live meditations on Instagram @sandrinemarlier. Healing and empowerment is accessible to all - this is how we transform the world. Let’s begin from the ground up, with our children!
Sandrine lives with her daughter in Sunnyside, Queens. Together they love to play with words and create new worlds. She’s infinitely grateful to have found her hOMe and wishes every grownups and little ones the same.

Brandylane is a small, independent press, founded in 1985, that publishes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, and children’s books. We publish under a traditional arrangement and also offer a cooperative track for emerging authors. We believe that books make a difference, that lives and the world are changed by the power of words and images, and that large publishing houses neglect a wealth of good writing. We are not looking for mainstream read-it-before self-help.
Under our cooperative arrangement, we invest a portion of the publishing costs and offer a stepped royalty structure from 30% to 60%--higher than the industry average. One distinguishing feature of our program is that our marketing effort includes a one-year launch, followed by two additional years of promotion through our social media, website, our seasonal genre, and subject matter email campaigns, and continuous support from our PR team.

Founded in 2015, Thea Press is an independent book publisher committed to helping nurture hidden stories and narratives to birth. We serve authors who are skilled observers and subverters of the status quo. Thea Press authors cut through what one expects to see in order to give a taste, sound, touch, and smell of the unexpected. We are midwives of the stories birthed not by the God of the mainstream whom we've been taught and sometimes forced to know, but by the Goddess who reveals herself to those whose senses are keen and hearts are open.
Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

Ingram is a rather large company with several different divisions and supplies books to bookstores and libraries in over 200 countries around the world. Ingram also has a print on demand digital printing company, Lightning Source. IngramSpark is the platform that combines those two services together. At IngramSpark, we work with authors and independent publishers to print their books for orders they need (no minimum order) and we have a way to list the books as available for sale to all of Ingram’s 39,000+ customers- distributors, bookstores, retail outlets, libraries, etc., so you never miss a sale. You would provide us with the print-ready digital files (one for the cover and one for the interior) and we print the books as they are sold through our distribution partner’s websites. We pay you for those sales approximately 90 days later. The compensation you earn is based on the retail price you set, minus the wholesale discount you offer our distribution partners, minus the print cost.
