Paperback Picture Book
Lucy doesn’t understand why the new boy in Miss Reed’s class doesn’t
like her.
“I said hi and he ignored me,” she said.
“Lucy, that’s Daniel. He has autism,” Miss Miller responded.
“What’s autism?” asked Lucy.
From that moment on Lucy works to make friends with Daniel in this
bright, upbeat book about autism. Once she succeeds, Lucy becomes
determined that the other kids in the class learn to accept Daniel as
well.
With an estimated 1 in 68 children now falling somewhere on the
autism spectrum, Lucy’s Amazing Friend is just the right book to help
children understand that we are all different, and while those
differences can be challenging, they also make us each special.
