I Am Unique

Through the eyes of a boy with autism and his close friendship with another child, this story suggests that every child has a distinctive kind of talent. It encourages young readers to be kind to classmates and to welcome people for who they are, differences included.

The closing pages hold a Caregivers Corner with practical tips, explanations of key terms, and coping strategies. That section makes the book useful to parents, caregivers, and teachers who want to talk with children about autism and difference.

The overall aim is to help children understand one another's individuality and meet it with receptiveness and warmth.
