"A much needed story on diversity and inclusion from the angle of honoring unique names!" will build the confidence of uniquely named children in addition to teaching everyone about the importance of learning to pronounce names correctly.

Readers will learn one of the simplest ways of showing a sign of respect is to learn how to say someone's name correctly! A Name Like Mine

Each book Includes:

Illustrations with every page turn

Growing up with a unique name presented its own unique challenges for 12-year old Shekeyla. Over time, she becomes empowered by her differences and encourages those around her to be welcoming of diversity when it comes to the names of others and so much more.

This true story teaches inclusivity by experiencing the perspective of a uniquely named child. We journey through the emotions of being the "oddly named girl" in school before discovering that those who are willing to put in a little effort to say names properly are also willing to be inclusive in other ways.

Pulitzer Prize-winning Dr. Seuss's classic Beginner Book is now part of a book and audio CD package, with word-for-word storytelling by David Hyde Pierce.

"From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere." Beginning with just five fish and continuing into flights of fancy, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish celebrates how much fun imagination can be. From the can-opening Zans to the boxing Gox to the winking Yink who drinks pink ink, the silly rhymes and colorful cast of characters create an entertaining approach to reading that will have every child giggling from morning to night: "Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one."

Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meanings.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * This joyful rhyming book encourages children to value the "different" in all people, leading the way to a kinder world in which the differences in all of us are celebrated and embraced.

Macy is a girl who's a lot like you and me, but she's also quite different, which is a great thing to be. With kindness, grace, and bravery, Macy finds her place in the world, bringing beauty and laughter wherever she goes and leading others to find delight in the unique design of every person.

Children are naturally aware of the differences they encounter at school, in their neighborhood, and in other everyday relationships. They just need to be given tools to understand and appreciate what makes us "different," permission to ask questions about it, and eyes to see and celebrate it in themselves as well as in those around them.

In this book for autistic children, Logan overhears his grandma tell her friend he has autism, and he asks her, "Autism is...?" She explains what autism is to him in this beautifully illustrated story. Children with autism face many challenges and they are often aware of and question their autism. Of course, each child is unique, and you may or may not wish to explain the term autism to your child at a young age. But if you do, this book can help make it easier for you, as it did for the author when explaining autism to Logan. His inquisitive mind wanted to know, and once he read this story, even before it was illustrated, he was happy with this positive explanation and answer to his question.

When Adam started kindergarten, the teacher wanted him to learn about letters. But "p" looked like "q," and "b" looked like "d." Adam would rather color or mold clay. In first grade, his teacher wanted him to put the letters into words so he could read. That was the beginning of the Alphabet War. "Was" looked like "saw," and "there" looked like "then." Almost everyone else in his class was learning to read, but Adam was fighting a war against letters.

In second grade, he had to learn to spell, which was also impossible. Now he was so frustrated he got into trouble and had to go to the principal's office. At last, in third grade, he got the right kind of help. Slowly he began to do better. During fourth grade, he learned that he could excel in other things. That gave him the confidence to take chances with reading. One day he found himself reading a book all by himself!

An instant classic in the world of Social-Emotional Learning, this bestselling picture book tells the story of one little boy with some big, big emotions -- and how he learns to see them for the gifts they are.

The Boy with Big, Big Feelings is relatable for any child -- especially for a child experiencing anxiety, extreme emotions, a child identified as a Highly Sensitive Person, or a child on the autism spectrum. Beautifully illustrated and written in rhyming verse, children and adults explore the whole spectrum of feelings and readers navigate the emotional challenges they face throughout the day.

The main character has feelings so big that they glow from his cheeks, spill out of his eyes, and jump up and down on his chest. When he hears a joke, he bursts with joy. When a loud truck drives by, he cries. When his loved ones are having a hard day, he feels their emotions as if they were his own.

The boy tries to cope by stuffing down his feelings, but with a little help and artistic inspiration, the boy realizes his feelings are something to be celebrated.

The Big, Big series inspires kids to embrace whatever it is inside them that makes them unique--whether it's big feelings, big ideas, or big questions. Full of creativity and tenderness, each book in the series offers readers connection and companionship as they navigate the challenges of growing up.

"A valuable first step in celebrating the Asperger's child."-Massachusetts General Hospital's Aspire Program

Isaac may look like everyone else, but he actually has superpowers that make him different from his brother and his classmates. Some kids don't understand that and call him names. But Isaac's superhero brain remembers loads of things, he has energy enough to bounce on his trampoline for hours, and his ears are so sharp he can even hear the buzzing some lights make in school (ouch!). He tends to say whatever comes into his head and doesn't realize that he might hurt someone's feelings - by telling them they have big teeth, for example! Even though he's not really a superhero - he has Asperger syndrome, which means his brain works a little differently - he does love to play superheroes with his brother, who understands him. Straightforward and engaging, Isaac's first-person narrative will help kids see the world through the eyes of a child with the high-cognitive type of autism spectrum disorder commonly known as Asperger syndrome.

"Charlie has autism. His brain works in a special way. It's harder for him to make friends. Or show his true feelings. Or stay safe." But as his big sister tells us, for everything that Charlie can't do well, there are plenty more things that he's good at. He knows the names of all the American presidents. He knows stuff about airplanes. And he can even play the piano better than anyone he knows.
Actress and national autism spokesperson Holly Robinson Peete collaborates with her daughter on this book based on Holly's 10-year-old son, who has autism.

Interviews

When Autism Strikes Home: It's a Family Affair

By Holly Robinson Peete

I experienced the elation every mother feels when she holds her newborns for the first time. When my twins were born, it was a double blessing — two beautiful children, a boy and a girl, both as sweet as their butterscotch cheeks.

RJ, my oldest son, was born two minutes before his sister, Ryan. Like many twins, mine were close from the very beginning. It was as if they had a language all their own. Even as infants, they seemed to understand each other's impulses and desires. When RJ cried, Ryan cried too. When Ryan wanted milk, so did RJ. When something happened to cause one of them giggle or gurgle, the other one giggled and gurgled along.

When RJ and Ryan began to talk, the beauty of language swept them up into the joys of making words and expressing themselves to me and to each other. While many parents can't wait to hear their children say "Mama" or "Da-da," RJ's very first word was "cow." Delighted with himself, RJ turned this into a singsong: "Cow, cow, cow!"

Ryan would join in, and the two of them were a chorus of "cow, cow, cow!" It didn't matter to me and my husband, Rodney, that our twins were talking about a farm animal before they were calling out to us. What was most important — and wonderful to witness — was that RJ and Ryan were both very talkative toddlers who were hitting their developmental milestones right on time.

Then, one day, when the twins were just two years old, all the chatty fun ended very abruptly. It seemed as if a plug had been pulled on RJ's joyous ability to speak and giggle with his sister. Ryan's development continued typically. She pointed at stars in the sky, birds, and high-flying planes. But RJ had changed. He'd become withdrawn, sullen, and distant. He was locked up in a place I couldn't reach, though I tried to rouse him by calling his name loudly when I wanted to get his attention. I took to screaming, mostly out of feeling helpless.

"RJ, RJ, RJ!" I would call.

After taking RJ to a series of specialists, we got the diagnosis that RJ had autism. It was the year 2000. RJ and Ryan had turned three. The medical community defines autism as a neurobiological disorder. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued some startling statistics on the disorder: 1 in 110 children in the United States has an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

When I learned of these statistics, I asked myself why my child had to be "the one." My husband and I were angry and confused and felt powerless to help RJ. This was underscored by members of the medical community and our social circle who didn't fully understand autism and its effects.

I will always remember what Rodney and I have come to call the "never" day. After enduring a battery of tests for RJ, we sat with a specialist who told us our son would never speak to us like a "normal" child, that he would never engage in real conversation with us or Ryan, and that he would never say "I love you" without being prompted.

Well — I have never experienced such pessimism from a doctor! When we met with her, it was a chilly afternoon (made even colder by the woman's icy office and less-than-warm bedside manner).

Some time after that meeting, Rodney and I made a decision — we would never allow someone to rob us of hope of a meaningful life for RJ and never, ever give up on finding the best treatments for him. Thankfully, soon after that awful day, we were blessed with a team of caring professionals who have rallied around our family and RJ. We call these men and women "Team RJ" and have taken to chanting, "Go, Team RJ!"

At age thirteen, RJ has grown into one of the loveliest and most charming kids! He's intelligent, playful, thoughtful, and funny. He's an ace swimmer and can play the piano and guitar with passion and verve. Adolescence has brought with it some new hurdles, but our boy has checked so many of those nevers off of his list.

Like any siblings, RJ and Ryan have had their challenging times, but the two of them are as close as ever. And they're back to talk, talk, talking — and sharing that special connection that twins have. We have two younger sons, Robinson, age six, and Roman, age eight, and two dogs, Harriet and Freddie. So we're a busy and boisterous family.

When Ryan and RJ were in the fourth grade, Ryan discovered that other kids and their parents had very little knowledge about autism and its affects on individuals and families. Ryan was constantly sticking up for RJ at school, and I found myself frequently fielding questions from other parents who just didn't know any better. For example, one mom worried that autism was contagious, so would refuse to invite RJ to playdates!

This is when Ryan came to Rodney and me, and showed us a wonderful program she'd developed on her own, called "Ryan's Autism 101" — a checklist of very practical advice and facts about autism that Ryan shared with our family, then invited Rodney and me to present to her classmates. We now offer "Ryan's Autism 101" to families struggling with a new diagnosis of autism and to those who have no autism in their immediate families but who have friends or schoolmates affected by autism. These ideas are outlined in the children's book I coauthored with my daughter, entitled My Brother Charlie. There is also helpful information in a book for fathers by my husband, Rodney Peete, entitled Not My Boy: A Father, a Son, and One Family's Journey with Autism.

Here are some ideas we have found most helpful.

* Social connection can be challenging for people with autism. If someone who has autism doesn't respond or make eye contact right away when you speak to them, it doesn't mean they're being rude. Often they don't like to be touched. Don't take it personally. Help them by being extra kind. Go the distance. Don't give up on your chance to make a friend.

* Many have trouble making friends, but it's even harder for those with autism. Include people with autism even more than you would others. If you give them time, you'll discover that they're just human beings with real feelings. And, like every human being, they want to be included even if they cannot verbally express it.

* We are all special in our own ways. Rather than point out what someone doesn't do well, focus on what they do well. Explore and praise the strengths, and acknowledge that everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

* People with autism can be exceptionally smart, but their brains are wired differently. It can take them longer to process information. Please be extra patient.

* If you see a child struggling or having a tantrum in a public place, such as a supermarket or airport, don't judge. Often that child is not being "naughty" but might have autism. Offer a smile or support to a mom or dad who could really use it!

* For more information, contact the HollyRod Foundation, an organization to help children with autism gain access to affordable treatments and therapies. HollyRod Foundation, 9250 Wilshire Blvd., Suite LL15, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.

Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2-Twins Callie and Charlie have a lot in common, but they are also very different: Charlie has autism. Callie narrates the story, describing what autism is and exploring the issues that come along with it. The theme is of love, patience, and acceptance. Endnotes give a few basic facts for children unfamiliar with the disorder. The authors, a mother-daughter team, based this story on personal experience. Evans's bright, mixed-media illustrations skillfully depict the family's warmth and concern. Pair this with Ouisie Shapiro's Autism and Me: Sibling Stories (Albert Whitman, 2009) to raise awareness and understanding of autism. This title should have a place in most library collections.-Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ

Cari Best grew up in New York City in an extended European family dominated by confident, beautiful women who loved to talk. As a result, she became more comfortable with the written word as opposed to the one spoken.

A graduate of the City University of New York, she also received a Master's Degree in Library Science from Drexel University, landing a job as the first librarian at the newly built headquarters of the International Reading Association in Newark, Delaware. She served as Editorial Director at a film company for 18 years while raising three children, numerous dogs and seeing the world.

Many of Cari Best's picture books depict real life problems and joys that children encounter: disappointment, shyness, bullying, learning to ride a bike, bake a pie, celebrate a loved one's special day - and show a realistic and satisfying outcome in each case, creating a sense of hope and accomplishment.

Cari Best lives in Connecticut where she walks, gardens, laughs and reads a lot.

Experience the true story of lifelong activist Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins and her participation in the Capitol Crawl in this inspiring autobiographical picture book. This beautifully illustrated story includes a foreword from Jennifer and backmatter detailing her life and the history of the disability rights movement.

This is the story of a little girl who just wanted to go, even when others tried to stop her.

Jennifer Keelan was determined to make a change-even if she was just a kid. She never thought her wheelchair could slow her down, but the way the world around her was built made it hard to do even simple things. Like going to school, or eating lunch in the cafeteria.

Jennifer knew that everyone deserves a voice! Then the Americans with Disabilities Act, a law that would make public spaces much more accessible to people with disabilities, was proposed to Congress. And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them.

And, without her wheelchair, she climbed.
