Milo the Autistic Bear - Hardcover

by Sharon Birk (Author), Funda Girgin (Illustrator)

Milo is starting kindergarten this year, and he is very excited to go to school! He has a brand-new backpack, a lunch kit, and some crayons that he's been playing with ever since his mummy bought them. Even though Milo is excited, his mum is a little worried. She knows that Milo sometimes feels overwhelmed and has a hard time expressing his feelings.

On his first day of school, Milo accidentally upsets a classmate and struggles to explain how he feels. But with the understanding and support of his mum and teachers, Milo's classmates learn about autism and how to include him in their activities. They make sure he feels comfortable, accepted, and valued. Milo's new friendships with classmates who understand him make him look forward to each day at school.

Milo the Autistic Bear helps children and adults understand more about autism and encourages everyone to be compassionate and helpful to children who might have a harder time adjusting to new situations.
