From the Author of The Kindergarten Adventures of Amazing Grace...
As a high school senior, one of my graduation requirements was to design and complete a year long culminating project on the topic of my choice. My younger brother Trevor was diagnosed with autism at age five, and after realizing how little I actually knew about autism, I felt a book educating other children about autism would be the perfect project.

Over the course of the school year I set out to learn everything I could about autism and translate that information into a language children could understand. My research was a combination of reading published documents, observing and working one-on-one with children who have autism, and interviewing experts in the autism field. I then integrated my research into characters and a story that children would connect with and enjoy. After finishing the writing, Trevor used his artistic talent to create the illustrations.

Though this book is a fictional story, I hope readers will still be able to relate to its message. I hope that by educating children not only about autism, but about all things that make us unique, our society will become a more accepting place for everyone.
