Reflection:
I think this book should be a part of every teacher's classroom library. There are not very many books out there can explain what it is like to live with someone who has Autism, especially for children. This is excellent because it is completely from the view point of a four year old and even has pictures drawn by him to explain how he feels.
I loooove this! I have read a lot of books on Autism because they really interest me. What I love about this book is that is it targeted for younger students. It is never too young to expose them to similarities and differences between ALL different types of students.
