This book is very child friendly and covers topics that may be hard to talk in the classroom about like disabilities. I think this book can be used to start that conversation in the classroom and share what autism is and what people who have autism may go through. This also helps to begin the conversation about never judging people based on our differences which is a very important topic at school especially starting in younger grades.

I think this book can be good in the classroom for a variety of reasons. This book rhymes quite a bit so it could be a good rhyming exercise. However, this book could also be used to teach children about autism and how it‘s different from how most people think.

“I think in pictures. Words are like a second language to me.“
I appreciate this quote because it beautifully captures Grandin's unique way of experiencing the world. It highlights the power of visual thinking, emphasizing that there are many ways to understand and communicate ideas. This perspective is not only enlightening but also validates the experiences of those who think differently, encouraging acceptance of diverse cognitive styles.
