The Littlest Inventor takes the stigma off Asperger's syndrome by advocating for inclusion in school and in public. - The Onconee Enterprise

"The Littlest Inventor takes the stigma off Asperger’s syndrome by advocating for inclusion in school and in public."" - The Onconee Enterprise   "

These days, I'm finding myself reading a lot of really thick textbooks on the subject of autism and sensory processing disorder. As a children's book with limited text and some gorgeous illustrations, this was an absolute breeze to read. I really enjoyed It . . . If you have a young child with sensory issues, (or if you have an older child whose issues you need to explain to your younger children), this is a great book to get. If you have a elementary school or preschool library to stock, then this book belongs there. The Littlest Inventor is a great practical book with twin messages of acceptance and the will to overcome difficulties . . .
