“I wrote the book from the sister’s point of view to best explain what other children see when they see a child with PDD, and also because my son’s condition affects his sister.
I hope this book gives an insight into our world, especially into my son. I hope it provides reassurance that children with ASD/PDD are just kids too. I hope it reassures you if you had any questions or concerns about a child with this who you know, or who might be in your child’s class or on your local playground. I hope you feel like it is okay to get to know the child, and his parents.”

an inspirational journey...
A little sister gives a heartfelt account of how her brother is just like any brother...how she loves him...how he loves her...and what it is like for both of them to live with his autism.
A thoughtful, informative, and tender look into a child’s world of autism, this book is a great resource for teachers and parents, at school and at home.
teaching understanding and acceptance...
It’s difficult to explain differences among people to young children. This book is the perfect guide to helping preschool and elementary school aged children understand and accept that children with autism are children first, just like them.
With a clear and sweet explanation of common behaviors they might see in an autistic child, this book walks through a typical sibling relationship that just happens to also include an autistic child. Written informatively and lovingly, this book is interesting for adults and children alike, and contains important and educational facts and resources in the back, as well as a heart-warming letter from the author, explaining why she wrote the book.
“The ‘extras’ and ‘differences’ children on the autism spectrum face can be challenging. Even more challenging are the incorrect assumptions, myths and fear my son and I face…”
