The Curious Mind of Sebastian is the story of Sebastian, a young boy who behaves differently from other kids and is unable to tell his mom the words, "I love you." After he and his mom learns he has been diagnosed with Autism, Sebastian finds a hilarious way to show love to his mom. Designer Anthony D. Paular took Diane Lee Inosanto's manuscript and S.G. Inosanto's pencil drawings and partnered with inker Ron Zeilinger and colorist Drew Moore to produce a manga-style storybook. Since its publication in 2019, The Curious Mind of Sebastian has touched the lives of siblings and parents of children living with Autism.
