Hi Sue, Welcome to my blog, I’m happy meet you and introduce you to my readers. Your picture book
looks to fill an interesting niche and I am curious to learn more about what
inspired it. Let’s get started.
Title, genre, format (ebook, paperback):
Just Elliot
Children’s illustrated story book
Hardcover, ebook, ibook
Tell me about your book/story:
Jump into the head of six-year-old Elliot, a boy with autism, and
see what it’s like to navigate life on the spectrum.
This beautifully illustrated, lively story will give insight to
neuro-typical children and the people who love them, into the challenges their
friends may be facing. We hope this book will encourage understanding and
acceptance of children who may act a little differently.
The book includes resource materials and discussion questions.
What is the one thing you’d like people to know about the book or the story:
Just Elliot is based upon the experiences of a real boy with
autism, with a special foreword by Temple Grandin.
What has the reaction been to the book, is it making a difference
in the conversation about autism:
To date, we have addressed about 1800 school children, grades
K-5, with a discussion of autism, bullying and acceptance. We read the book and
entertain questions and are continually amazed by the awareness of autism by
young children. There has been a very enthusiastic response by students,
teachers, librarians and parents who have attended the presentations.
Last April we were interviewed on Colorado Public Radio about the
book during Autism Acceptance Month (previously known as Autism Awareness
Month) and received rave reviews!
