“This is an absolutely brilliant book with some of the most gorgeous illustrations I’ve seen in a children’s book in a long time. If you’ve got a library of picture books or if you’ve got a youngster on the spectrum, then this is the book you need to have.”
– Gavin Bollard, Australian Book Review site: “Life with Asperger’s”
In My World is a simple, heartfelt story that follows the life of a child with autism through his imaginative journey as he seeks to be accepted, loved, and celebrated for his strengths and abilities. Despite the qualities that make children on the autism spectrum exceptional, they all have hopes, dreams, and feelings of belonging, which all children desire. This book is a powerful reminder that, with a little help from each of us, children with autism can fulfil their dreams.
The perfect storybook, especially for early readers, each page contains a beautiful illustration and a single sentence. Through rhyme and pictures, In My World gives adults and children the chance to explore and learn together.
