Reviews

'This is a celebration of diversity and neurodiversity, but also quite simply a lovely picture book to share with any child.' Booktrust;'Talking Is Not My Thing is told by an autistic girl who is non-verbal. She communicates with her brother through body language, drawing, gestures...It gently shows us how rhythm and routine are important to her' Juno Magazine;'A must-buy...While acknowledging the challenges the girl faces in her daily life, Rose Robbins' story is sensitively told and always positive, her heroine fully involved and finding lots of ways to have fun; the bold, bright illustrations further reinforce the admirable message of inclusivity.' Teach Early Years;'This simple yet mesmerising book reminds us that every child is different and that's okay.' Absolutely Mama Magazine;'Rose has created an enormously empathetic story that she conveys with subtle humour and a sense of respect for the siblings she portrays' Red Reading Hub;'Full of bold, bright and lively artwork, this beautiful, sensitively created book' Lancashire Evening Post
