"This picture book about a young boy on the autism spectrum highlights the way he functions differently than his classmates. His way of being in the world has both its challenges and its strengths."-- - Baker & Taylor
Henry, who is on the autism spectrum, struggles to connect with his classmates until they visit the botanical gardens, where his passion for botany makes an impression. - Orca Book Publishers
Henry marches to the beat of his own green thumb in this gentle picture book about a boy on the autism spectrum.
Henry doesn't remember to raise his hand and he prefers to call plants by their proper Latin names, much to the frustration of his classmates. Most days, Henry doesn't notice how different he is from the other kids in his grade, but some days, he does. On those days, he finds refuge under the shade of the Salix babylonica (willow tree) or in the school counselor's office or at his very favorite place in the world: the local botanical gardens. When his class goes on a field trip to these botanical gardens, Henryâs knowledge of the flora and fauna shows the other kids that his unique interests are really something special.
