Riley has plenty of ways to play; like lining up dolls and stuffies by
size and shape. Tearing up newspapers and making piles into mountains,
using sharp crayons to draw big swirly patterns. But bossy cousin Emma
thinks those ways are wrong, wrong, and wrong. And she makes no bones
about letting Riley know exactly what her opinion is. Fortunately,
Charlie the dog is on hand to help with a breakthrough demonstration
that there are MANY ways to play; and all of them are right.
Based on experiences that Lyn Miller Lachman had growing up as an
Autistic child and illustrated with the humor, tenderness and
understanding that perhaps only an artist like Gabriel Alborozo, himself
an Autistic creator, could bring, here is an empowering validation of
the value of individual expression. And a whole lot of fun.
