I am absolutely charmed by Cynthia Noles's rhyming story line and the brilliantly colored illustrations by John Hume! In A Donkey Smiled at Me Today, these two have blended so well that one would think all was done by the same person. Autistic children would be rapt in the strong story and bright drawings, as well as other children. In fact, I am eager to read all the other books published by these outstanding and talented professionals. Just can't wait for a new publication! --Delores K. Rowley, retired principal A Donkey Smiled at Me Today is a charming and delightfully entertaining children's book. The story focuses on the importance of lending a helping hand and the difference it can make in the lives of others. It also reminds us of how a smile can totally change our day and inspire us to be positive in our actions. The incredibly detailed and lovely illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to the extremely clever rhyming style utilized by the author to engage readers, youth and adults alike. A Donkey Smiled at Me Today is the perfect read aloud story for children, parents, and teachers. --Nickie Gorce, preK-12th ESE educator, consultant, administrator
