Katie Finds Her Voice: A Story about Autism

Katie's first-grade class is preparing for Autism Acceptance Day. She already knows a lot about autism because her older brother Mikey is autistic. But when Katie's teacher asks her to share what she knows with the rest of the class, Katie isn't sure what to do. Can she overcome her fear of speaking in front of a group? What if her words get stuck?

As Katie balances her role as an advocate for her brother with conquering her own challenges, she shares the different ways people with autism engage with the world around them. Through Katie's eyes, readers learn that people with autism want what everyone wants: a family who loves them, friends to play with, and teachers to learn from.
