Ian's Walk: A Story about Autism

32 pp. | Whitman | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-3480-3
(2) K-3 Without ever saying what autism is (beyond "Ian's brain doesn't work like other people's"), Ian's older sister Julie details his peculiar interactions with his surroundings as they walk to the park. Low-key watercolors casually offset Ian's idiosyncrasies with Julie's frustration and impatience. The unsensational tone is maintained to the end when Julie realizes that she appreciates Ian simply for who he is.
