All My Stripes: A Story for Children with Autism

This book was AMAZING! I loved how the main character was a zebra, and his stripes were used to represent different parts of him. I feel this is a very clever way to explain to children who have Autism or children who know someone with Autism what goes through their mind. Zane, the main character, had a very strong personality and I found myself sympathetic to what he was going through and the struggles he was facing. I viewed Zane’s mama as the hero throughout the story. Her kindness and compassion towards Zane was very admirable. She helped Zane to love himself again and I think that children with Autism may sometimes feel alone or unable to connect with others. Overall, I think this book really captures how someone with autism feels and I think that the authors are brilliant.

    So glad to have shared this book with someone who appreciates it! I, also, think that this book is brilliant. I wonder how children with autism would respond to this book.
