Description
Kevin never smiles at school, but he's different at home. He jumps up and down when his favorite football team scores a touchdown, and screams "CANNONBALL!" when he jumps into the swimming pool. But at school, Kevin feels like he doesn't fit in. He struggles to keep up with his classmates, especially when it comes to answering questions in class. His reading teacher asks him to help out with the school store, and this small task helps Kevin see that he's been capable all along. This picture book tells Kevin's story, offering support for children who feel like they're not 'okay' at school. The book is a valuable resource for discussing difficulties at school, academic ability, self-esteem, confidence, and recognising strengths. It provides an honest insight into the thoughts, feelings, and coping strategies of a child with autism spectrum conditions and specific learning difficulties.
