Publisher's Synopsis
"The Autistic Duck: An Everyone Book" is written by Melissa Lopez, author of "Good Job, Dragon!" and "Mood Cat's Colorful Week". Melissa's youngest son is on the Autism Spectrum. Like "Good Job, Dragon!" and "Mood Cat's Colorful Week", "The Autistic Duck: An Everyone Book" is targeted towards children and adults with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). At the same time, all readers of all ages and abilities are part of each book's more-than-welcome audience!
Autism Awareness has progressed greatly in the past few years. Still, there is a large population out there that has not yet been educated on some of the important facts about ASD. Plus, some children on the spectrum have a difficult time grasping the idea of their diagnosis. They may wonder why they are considered "different" from their peers. Most people are acquainted with someone with ASD, whether they are aware of that fact, or not. "The Autistic Duck: An Everyone Book" aims to help readers of all abilities to understand that everyone has common traits, and at the same time, it is important to celebrate yourself and appreciate everyone else's differences!
