Some pages
After a long period of writing and illustrating, I can finally say that the third book of the series will be available shortly. During that time period, a lot has happened for the book series, I have presented to schools the first two books in the northern region of New Brunswick, I Have also presented the books at the Moncton University in the Medical studies department.
These conferences alone, brought a lot of motivation to me as I could see just how aware the children were about autism. There is still a lot of awareness to be done.
The third book presents a day in school as experienced by my own son Sam. The teacher’s aide, that were and are with Sam, have helped me to write the story and gave me pointers on the experiences they had with Sam.
I am looking forward to have this book available, it really shows just how the presence of a teacher’s aide helps a lot in the development of a child. These services are what is provided to us in New Brunswick. These service are not available everywhere in our country. It is very important for a child with autism to have an aide with them as trying to fit in, at school, is already a stress in itself.
Lets hope that the other provinces are watching.
Presenting “My Friend Sam: A play date with Damian”, a children’s book presenting the different struggles that kids diagnosed with autism deal with everyday.
This little book is the second of a series of 30 books that will explore the different levels of the Autism Spectrum.
Being an autism dad myself, I have been inspired to show our youth what autism is all about. To my knowledge, there is close to no children’s book that talk about autism. This series has the target market of kids between the ages of 4 to 8 years of age. The plan is to have this book available throughout the country so that all kids get to learn about autism.
After a lot of research, I have taken the decision to self-publish the book. It is now available through CreateSpace and it will be available on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com by the last week of December 2016. Please note that 1$ of each sale will be donated to Autism Canada.
The book is 7 inches by 7 inches, has a glossy cover and contains 26 pages. It is available in both official languages.
In this book, we explore the non-verbal side of the spectrum. A big thank you goes to Damian’s family for allowing us to base ourselves on Damian to tell a story.
