Klappentext

A Built for Big Things book

Some children live in a quieter, deeper world of their own.

Oscar notices everything - the hum of the lights, the scratch of a label, the way the playground can suddenly feel too loud, too bright, too much all at once. He loves facts about the planets, the comfort of his own routines, and the calm of a quiet corner. But school isn't always built for a boy like Oscar, and sometimes the world turns up too high.

Then someone helps Oscar - and the people around him - understand the name for the way his mind works: autism. It isn't that Oscar is in the wrong world. It's that his world is wired to feel things fully, notice things deeply, and love things completely.

With a little understanding, and a few small changes, Oscar discovers that the things that make him different are also the things that make him wonderful.

A gentle, hopeful picture book about autism, for children who experience the world in their own way - and for everyone who loves them. Oscar and his Quiet World reassures young readers that being different isn't something to fix, and that a quieter, deeper way of seeing the world is something to be proud of.

Inside you'll find:

• A warm, affirming story about autism, sensory differences, and feeling understood
• Beautiful, full-page illustrations on every spread
• A "My Quiet World" activity to help children share what helps them feel calm
• A short note for grown-ups with caring, practical guidance Perfect for ages 5-9, for classrooms and bedtime, and a thoughtful gift for any child who sees the world in their own way.

Some of the most wonderful worlds are the quiet ones.
