Description
This story is for children who care about a sibling with autism, a brother, sister, cousin, friend or classmate. It explains that everyone is different, and that the sibling with autism has special powers that help in tricky moments when they might feel rejected or struggle with a meltdown. With a positive and empowering message, the book encourages the child to use their special powers to make their dreams come true.
Written by a mother with first-hand experience of raising two children with autism, this book is a heartwarming and magical tale that has turned into a book available for everyone to share with their children. The story was initially intended for her son, but has since become a resource for families with autism.
For added support, the book is available with various characters. Christel Land also writes "The Superhero Brain", another book in the same empowering and magical style, which explains autism to the autistic child. If you're looking for a book to help your child understand and relate to the message, this is a great place to start.
