For decades, Temple Grandin has been a voice and a positive force in
the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) community. Through her books and
speaking engagements she has inspired and enlightened teachers,
therapists, professionals, mother, fathers and family members with her
perspectives about life with autism. Now, in Manners Matter! Temple
steps away from the world of adults and talks directly to kids
themselves, sharing her experiences living with and growing up with
autism in kid-friendly language and colorfully illustrated stories and
characters. This first book in the Temple Talks to Kids series focuses
on manners and social niceties, what Temple considers to be the key that
unlocks doors to social interaction, social acceptance, and social
opportunities across our lives. Children will delight in Temple's
familiar cowgirl style, straight-shooting language about the importance
of manners and adults will appreciate the hard-won wisdom and advice she
provides.
Temple Grandin says having good manners is very important!
Sometimes, it is hard to understand these rules and "social stuff," and
there can be so much to remember. But manners help people live together
and get along well. They will also help you on your way to achieve your
goals and dreams. Temple is here to help, showing different ways to use
your manners, such as:
The importance of "please" and "thank you"
Table manners
Everyday manners
Manners in public . . . and so much more.
There are lots of simple ways to show good manners, and your friend
Temple is here to lead the way. You'll learn a lot, and have fun
practicing, too . . . because after all, MANNERS MATTER!
