Come on Roar, Let's Explore! (Roar Brave & Strong) - Softcover

This is the second title in a beautiful new series of picture books launches Roar, the brave and strong little dinosaur who knows it's okay to do things differently. Roar books and resources have been specially created to help children with high-functioning Autism/Asperger's Syndrome and those who live and work with them. Just like Roar, children with autism think in a different way. This enchanting storybook invites children, parents, carers and teachers to celebrate the strengths of children with Asperger's. Roar has many great qualities including honesty, determination, attention to detail, exceptional memory and a sense of humour. Roar helps children move from feeling, 'I've got it wrong!' to saying, 'This is me. I'm okay.' Roar is the main character in this series of books, alongside a family member and occasionally a supportive friend. She uses her special talents and likes to be busy, but enjoys taking a break by hiding - just as children with Asperger's find joining in can be hard work and like to take a break, perhaps by doing a simple activity on their own; routine and ritual restore an overloaded mind.

Hazel Reeves is the parent of a high-functioning Autism/Asperger's Syndrome child, for whom she created the character of Roar. Read the reviews and international comments on the author's website www.roar-littledinosaur.com.
