A little bat struggles to fit in only
to learn to celebrate differences in this “darling book for all children but
especially those with autism” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about
starting school, making friends, and seeing what makes each person special.
Bitsy is a little bat with big star dreams of making friends at her new school.
But when she arrives, Bitsy doesn’t feel like she fits in. The other kids sit
on their chairs, but sitting upright makes Bitsy dizzy. The other kids paint
with their fingers, but Bitsy would rather use her toes. Everyone tells Bitsy
she’s doing things wrong-wrong-wrong, so she tries harder…and ends up having a
five-star meltdown.
Now Bitsy feels like a very small star and doesn’t want to go back to school.
But with help from her family, Bitsy musters her courage, comes up with a new
plan, and discovers that being a good friend is just one of the ways she shines
bright!
This was a lovely Picture Book! The illustrations were absolutely charming (Bitsy was adorable!), and I thought the message was great. Overall, this was a wonderful PB that I would definitely recommend reading!
I received a copy of the book from the blog tour company and publisher.
