I'm reading this with a group of students for a book club. As a mother of a son with autism, I feel this story in my heart. It's very real and honest. As a teacher, it's a wonderful read for my students. This book has a lot to offer them. It will definitely lead to a lot of good discussions.

So I haven't bought it from here, but I read it at school and it was awesome! And I love it when the gunipigs talk, it's adorable and funny. This book let's me see people with disabilities in a new way. Cynthia Lord, you are a genius!
