Autism: The CDC estimates that 2 percent of children in the U.S. are living with autism (source: AutismSpeaks.org), and many of these children have siblings. This story addresses the difficulties of having an autistic sibling in an accessible and empathetic way, and with a light touch. Strikes a light and fun tone while dealing with real stresses and emotions. Fun art and unusual formatting throughout make this engaging and appealing to younger readers. A satisfying read for developing readers, but also great for parents to read aloud. Mister P is a non-verbal Mrs. Piggle Wiggle who makes house calls! The story's open ending leaves potential for a series where Mister P visits a new child in need in every story.
