A little bat struggles to fit in only to learn to celebrate differences in this âdarling book for all children but especially those with autismâ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) from Theodor Seuss Geisel Honorâwinning author-illustrator Kaz Windness about starting school, making friends, and seeing what makes each person special.
Bitsy is a little bat with big star dreams of making friends at her new school. But when she arrives, Bitsy doesnât feel like she fits in. The other kids sit on their chairs, but sitting upright makes Bitsy dizzy. The other kids paint with their fingers, but Bitsy would rather use her toes. Everyone tells Bitsy sheâs doing things wrong-wrong-wrong, so she tries harderâ¦and ends up having a five-star meltdown.
Now Bitsy feels like a very small star and doesnât want to go back to school. But with help from her family, Bitsy musters her courage, comes up with a new plan, and discovers that being a good friend is just one of the ways she shines bright!
Backmatter includes a More About Autism facts page, making this âa particularly helpful resource for all kidsâ (BookPage, starred review).
