From #1 NYT bestselling author of A Day with No Words, a new picture book centering an Autistic boy and celebrating friendship and inclusivity.
Rainy days are perfect for museum visits, and Aidan is excited to learn on his outing. But with the rain comes long lines and loud sounds. Like for many with Autism, these sensations overwhelm Aidan. His brain gets fuzzy, and he grunts 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 and whisper, making him feel like an outsider. 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 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.
