Critics Review
A very accessible, positive story explaining Asperger’s to young children. Backed by the National Autistic Society, it is an excellent resource for classrooms and libraries. * Bookseller *
Groundbreaking picture book explaining Asperger’s Syndrome in a simple, gentle, positive way to young children. * The Bookseller *
Melanie Walsh’s picture book for the very young is visually cartoonish without being patronising. […] It will appeal to those affected and unaffected by Asperger’s […] It’s a wise and cheerful book for anyone who wants to understand the syndrome better. * The Times *
…a book which gently explains Asperger’s syndrome to young children. […] Full of comfort and wisdom – just like Melanie Walsh’s Goodbye Grandma * The Herald *
[This book] wears its heart on its sleeve […] It is a good, bright, dauntless book – and does not make the mistake of labouring the detail. * The Observer *
