A beginning chapter book series based on the award-winning picture
book, A Friend for Henry!
Henry likes Classroom Ten. He likes how it is always the same. But this
week, Henry's class will have a parade, and a parade means having Share
Time on the wrong day. A parade means playing instruments that are
too loud. A parade means this week is not like always.
Join Henry as he navigates the ups and downs of marker missiles, stomach
volcanoes, and days that feel a little too orange. From the creators of
the Schneider Family Honor-winning picture book A Friend for Henry,
this warmly funny book starring a child on the autism spectrum is a
reassuring read for school-bound kids of all stripes.
GREAT FOR BEGINNING READERS: With short chapters and simple text, this
book is perfect for newly independent readers who are just moving into
longer books.
BACK TO SCHOOL: Familiar school scenarios--from new schedules to making
new friends--are portrayed with humor and understanding in this series
that will appeal to and reassure any child starting or continuing in
school.
DIVERSE STORIES: Representing neurodivergent kids is a vital aspect of

Always provides a mirror and a window for kids on the autism spectrum
and their friends to see themselves in the stories they read.
