My aspergers child came home from school report card day, upset about being different, and not doing as well as his big brother. We have a cat who is "the love of his life.". This book turns a heart breaking day into smiles and laughter. Both of my children enjoyed the pictures and were able to understand the analogies. We have been coping with aspergers for 7 years and this is the best book I have read with the kids!!
