I purchased this book for a children's book review for a special-education class. The book would be perfect for gen-ed teachers of grades k-4. It is a step-by-step guide for children to learn about new students joining their class that have Autism. It is a workbook (students can write in the book, there are places for pictures and a journal area) for students that teaches acceptance.

Very well written. by Kathleen Caldwell (Texas)

This book not only helped my daughter come to terms with her Aspergers diagnosis positively, it helped her better understand her autistic little brother. She now views her Aspergers as the asset that it is, rather than a weakness. Bravo to the authors of this book! Well done!

This is an excellent book to present to a classroom to help the students understand the persepctive and behavior of a peer who has autism. It raised many good questions from the students, and increased their understanding and tolerance of their peer's differences.
