A very good book to use as a guide to support those with autism. A lot of phrases can be confusing to interpret if you’re comfortable with language being more literal. The stories offer stepping stones to approaches that can be used to guide understanding of phrases used by many. A supportive and child friendly approach!

I was expecting something different with this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. It comes with 7 stories, and much have been identified as areas very difficult for kids on the spectrum. I found the stories unique and fun, even the one with the dog. I think this would be a great book to read to a class if students. Class discussion can focus on the content of the story and can be beneficial to many students, not just those on the spectrum.
I also found the discussion page after each story a nice stepping stone to further the conversation.
All and all this is a nice little book with some great black and white art.

As an Autistic Mama of two kids with Autism, and a baby showing signs but is too young for diagnosis, this is the book I wish I had growing up. Excited to purchase this for my daughter when her reading level has developed a bit more. An incredibly compassionate guide that both gives useful allegories for Autistic kiddos to help them navigate the world, and provides helpful tips for parents to help them provide their children the skills they need to thrive in the world. I adored this book, and how it was told in an age appropriate way. I can’t wait for all of my kids to read it!
