Isaak, Armond
1 Reviews
(4)
K-3
Armond, a boy with Asperger's syndrome, goes to Felicia's birthday party but is nervous about popping balloons, strong smells, and more. When the chaos is too much, Armond takes "a break" in a quiet room and then rejoins the party. Carlson's gentle, if purposeful, approach and childlike storyboard illustrations may help readers empathize with what Armond is experiencing. A note to adults is appended.
