Join us for a book club for children with autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing sensitivities or disabilities. This month, we'll read aloud, talk about and complete activities based on the book Meesha Makes Friends by Tom Percival.
Caregivers are encouraged to attend with their child; siblings are also welcome.
From the creator of Ruby Finds a Worry, the perfect picture book for helping children navigate social situations and connect with peers.
Meesha loves making things, but she finds it hard to make friends. She doesn't know quite what to do, what to say, or when to say it, and she struggles with responding to social cues. But one day, she discovers that she has a special talent that will help her navigate challenging social situations and make friends.
“This story puts words and pictures to feelings and traits that are difficult to articulate and explain, making this book helpful both for children who can relate to Meesha's experience and for those who don't understand such feelings.” ― Kirkus Reviews
