What's in the books:

  • Milo and Angel and shoe that flewed, by Holly Brown, illustrated by Holly Brown and Sarah Mares.

For sure, you must have done something slightly wicked when you were a kid. And had to sort it before the grown ups found out. Wait till you read Holly Brown's version of this archetypal story in Milo and Angel and the shoe that 'flewed'. There’s subtle inclusion of disability and a lot of fun. And wait till you see Holly's own illustrations, finished off with figures drawn by yet another clever artist, Sarah Mares.

  • Dora's BIG Idea, by Teo Tissue, illustrated by Carly Boyd.

And last but never least, Teo Tissue explores those moments we have all experienced, but which can be far more common for children with autism – the times when you feel lonely and friendless. Her solution – in a book for 3-7 year olds, delightfully illustrated by Carly Boyd – is a therapy dog. We all love dogs, right? But teaching them to be companion animals is not always the easiest thing, specially when the dog is definitely on the messy side.

  • Saving Sam, by Jaydin Cole, illustrated by Steven Ma.

Were you, or are you, passionate about saving koalas or other endangered species? Author Jaydin Cole is, and he has written an highly appealing story to communicate this to preschool aged children. Jaydin uses his autism to concentrate and his thoughtfulness comes across in Saving Sam. Saving Sam's delightful illustrations are by Steven Ma.

  • Tom's Space Adventure, by Domenic Grego, illustrated by Lucy Keirle.

Did five-year-old you ever lie awake at night, wondering about the stars, space, what was out there? Domenic Grego has captured this dream exquisitely and has also captured the confusion – and amusement – when communication is not what you’d think. Tom's Space Adventure, illustrated with whimisical drawings by the talented Lucy Keirle, is a lively adventure for 3-5 year olds.
