From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2—A third-person past-tense narrative tells the story of Sam, a boy with Asperger Syndrome. Positive qualities are listed first: "Sam loved to giggle…. Sam was a happy boy." Next come some of his challenges: he is afraid of loud noises, he has trouble making friends, and he does not like change. When he leaves the house at night, walking all the way to the local fairgrounds because he loved the Ferris wheel so much, his parents know that something must be done. They take him for a check-up and receive the diagnosis. The doctors and therapists give them some suggestions for helping their son at home and at school. The book concludes with Sam playing the cello at a school concert. Because of the interesting story line, the positive approach, and the notion that others can learn to help Sam instead of expecting him to change, this is an excellent introduction to the topic. The pictures are bright and lively, showing mostly happy faces. The book concludes with 10 helpful tips to remember when a friend or a classmate has Asperger's. A useful introduction for both children and adults.—Wendy Smith-D'Arezzo, Loyola College, Baltimore, MD Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

This story of Sam is like many other boys and girls out there that are born and live with this disorder. It is not easy to be a friend, a sister, a brother, or any other relation to a child with Asperger's. These children are misunderstood all throughout school and college and they continue to struggle through adulthood with a disorder they have very little control over. They fear interactions with others, large crowds create anxiety and they struggle just to say "hello" to someone new. This was a delightful story of patience, kindness, and courage in the face of adversity but an achievement in illustration. I loved it not only for it's harrowing tale but the magnificent paintings that I love so well.

I had to get a book for my Inclusion class in college and this book is wonderful! Such a good book for young children to hear!

It is really unfortunate when people write negative reviews about excellent books. This book has won many awards, was shortlisted for book of the year by Speech Pathology Australia and has been endorsed by both Dr Temple Grandin and Dr Tony Attwood. I am a therapist who works with kids with ASD and this story is very realistic and applies to many of the children on my caseload. Unfortunately children with ASD or Aspergers do wander off, recently a child with ASD in a neighborhood close to us wandered off and was killed on the road as he was standing in the middle of the road with reduced awareness of danger. All kids with special needs are individuals and this book may not apply to everyone. What I love about the book is that is points out that even though Sam is different, he has amazing talents and strengths. Most importantly this book is a wonderful advocate for kids with Aspergers or ASD and raises awareness and understanding.

Love this book! Great story!

I thought that this book was really good. My son is just about 10 and he also enjoyed the book. I wish I had found it much earlier... would've helped him understand his diagnosis much better. I recommend this book if you have a young child with Asperger's. I think it would also come in handy for teachers that may have students in the classroom who have Asperger's.

Just lovely!

Great book to read to kids to help them understand differences.

Bought this book for my 6 year old son to help him understand he's not the only child in the world with Asperger's Syndrome. My son did not enjoy the story. He did not like the part of the story where Sam wonders off in the middle of the night--that scared him tremendously. Also, the things Sam does and feels in the story do not resemble my son at all. My child did not want to read this book again.Personally, I thought the book was just okay. I enjoyed the illustrations, but was disappointed that the story was nothing like my Aspie kid. With that being said, I do understand not every Aspie child is the same. If you are a parent with an Aspie child that wonders off in the middle of the night or is musically gifted then I think this book would be right for you.
