review 1: A great book about a young boy as he grapples with being alone in a school playground. This is written to embrace and support kids on the autism spectrum, which this does deftly and subtly; it's only explained in the author's note that this is about a kid with autism. This would be great to read if your child is autistic, to help your child understand autism, or just to help a shy or isolated child see they're not alone.
review 2: This subtle story is about a young boy with autism and the loneliness he experiences. If you're looking for a way to teach young children about differences and acceptance, this would be a great story to share. Be sure to check out the film version on YouTube.**Note: I think a lot of readers will miss that the main character in this
... morestory has autism. I was aware because I had read a review of the book prior to reading it. Understanding that the character has autism is critical to fully understanding the message behind this book. less

Though it is a glimpse into an autistic perspective, it is also a sweet friendship story.
