Book Review
This is a lovely children's book told from the perspective of Anthony who has been diagnosed with autism. Anthony tells the reader about his journey through school and with his family from the age of six onwards. Anthony tells us of his difficulties and frustrations in not being able to tell people how he is feeling. This is quite an emotional story with beautiful and colourful illustrations which makes it attractive to a child. I read this with my 10 year old son who enjoyed reading it along and with me. My son says that he thinks the story is sad and he feels sorry that Anthony isn't able to tell people how he feels but it is f good that he has alot of support in school and with his family. The book focuses alot on the support Anthony gets, his frustrations in his life and about his family. It also includes a list of charities that support people with autism at the end which I thought was a fantastic addition. I enjoyed the book and my heart went out to Anthony when he just wanted to tell his Dad that he loved him to. A lovely insight into how a child with autism feels and what they are going through. This book should be made available in all schools, playgroups and nurseries. Amazon's recommended age of reading is from baby to twelve but I would say there is no upper age limit as my son who is 10 enjoyed it as did myself and I am 34. I am looking forward to reading other books in this collection.
