Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Day with No Words Tiffany Hammond is a new picture book centering an Autistic young boy and celebrating friendship and inclusivity.

Rainy days are perfect for museum visits, and Aidan is excited to learn. But with the umbrella weather comes long lines and loud sounds. As with others with Autism, these sensations overwhelm Aidan. His brain gets fuzzy and his eyes get blurry, and he grunts, shouts, and slaps his chest to express his feelings.

Some people don't know why Aidan reacts this way. Rather than trying to understand him, they stare at him strangely and whisper, making him feel like he doesn't belong, that he should leave. But just because Aidan communicates in different ways, doesn't mean he should hide himself.

Then another child reaches out, not with judgment but with curiosity. She invites Aidan to explore the exhibits with her, and this one act of kindness makes a world of difference. With the help of his dad and his new friend, Aidan is able to be himself, proving to others and to himself that he belongs.

From the bestselling author and creator of the Fidgets and Fries platform comes a touching, engaging picture book that encourages us all to create a more inclusive, welcoming world.
