The journey to the inner light
In 'Recognise Your Light in Me' Daisy Buytelaar takes the reader along on her journey to her inner light. She does this through the connection she felt with the soul of her (then still) unborn daughter. She made contact with this light to prepare herself for her future motherhood, but at the same time she went in search of herself. As a child Daisy could already perceive a lot in the 'invisible' world, but because her environment could not support her in this she had closed herself off from it. In 2017, after quitting her top sporting career, building a social career and maintaining a busy social life, she became overworked. This was the moment that her healing journey started and she opened up again to the world of light and energy.
In the meantime, the book was born over a year ago, as was her now-born daughter Bloom. Daisy has already received many reactions. "Everyone takes away different insights from the book and that is what makes it so special. I get to know my own book all the time. I think that's great!
“I found it hard to ‘let go’ of the book once it went to the printer. Often, the final result doesn’t turn out exactly as you envisioned it. You have to make compromises. But that wasn’t the case with NPN|Graphius. I could really trust them, and they were incredibly supportive. Without NPN|Graphius, it wouldn’t have been the same book—in a good way.”
The feeling had to be right
During the process of writing, publisher Linda Baart came across Daisy's path. Linda edited the book and made the connection with our printing company. That's how we first came into contact with this special project, which for the most part was developed on the basis of feeling. This was particularly important for Daisy. "When I started writing, I already knew that it was important that everything was right. From the type of paper to the design on the cover, my feeling had to be right."
Linda also sensed that this was going to be a special book. “I found it hard to ‘let go’ of the book as it went to the printer. Often, the final result doesn’t turn out exactly as you envisioned it. You have to make compromises. But that wasn’t the case with NPN|Graphius. I could really trust them, and they were incredibly supportive. Without NPN|Graphius, it wouldn’t have been the same book—in a good way,” she says.
“NPN|Graphius really helped us think through how to make the book look as beautiful as possible. They came up with the idea of placing text on the cover and suggested the best way to use the gold accents. This suddenly opened up countless new possibilities for the designer. The final result is truly impressive!”
Sustainable paper
"Daisy wanted to use sustainable paper. NPN then came up with a suitable proposal: recycled paper. When Daisy held the paper, her feeling was immediately right. She immediately felt that this was the right paper."
A radiant cover
*Recognize Your Light in Me* is a book that truly shines. Literally. Linda explains: “NPN|Graphius really helped us think through how we could make the book look as beautiful as possible. They came up with the idea for the text on the cover and a way to best use the gold. This suddenly opened up countless new possibilities for the designer. The end result is truly impressive!”
