From the award-winning creators of Slug Days
Lauren and her family drive to a farm in North Dakota to visit relatives and celebrate her Aunt Jossieâs wedding. But Lauren finds to her dismay that she is expected to do more than meet adults who hug her and invade her personal space. Lauren is going to beâhorror of all horrorsâa flower girl.
Lauren has Autism Spectrum Disorder, and she sees the world a little differently from other kids. What makes her comfortable are her routines and her coping mechanisms for her anxiety, which can get out of control in no time. So it is a challenge to deal with her rambunctious cousins, try on scratchy dresses, and follow impossible directions about going down aisles slowly-but-not-like-a-sloth and tossing pretend flowers around. So is it any surprise that Lauren flips her lid more than once? But while having an extended family seems like a lot of trouble at first, sheâs about to learn just how much they can care for one another.
In Penguin Days, two award winners revisit second-grader Lauren from the acclaimed Slug Days with equal humor and empathy. Drawing on her experience teaching children with ASD, Sara Leach creates an energetic character who stomps eloquently off the page. And Rebecca Benderâs delightful black-and-white illustrations show in Laurenâs fraught situations and facial expressions all the love and assertiveness that could possibly dwell together in one unique little person.
