Why I
chose this book: I chose this book
because it explains Autism to children through a sibling’s point of view. I feel that it will be beneficial to students
because they can understand that they can feel frustrated because of how the
child with Autism could be acting and they will have an example of how to deal
with their feelings of frustration because they will relate to the sister.
Plot
summary: Callie narrates this story about living with her twin brother Charlie
who has Autism. She explains that she
can feel frustrated at times but that she still loves her brother and has to be
patient and understanding of how he is behaving.
