View the world through the eyes of a 10-year old boy with autism and a poem he wrote for a school assignment
Foreword by the National Autism Association
"I am odd, I am new. I wonder if you are too. I hear voices in the air. I see you don't, and that's not fair."
Step into the world of Benjamin Giroux, a 10-year-old boy with autism, as he invites readers to see life from his perspective. In this picture book, Benjamin's poem, which he composed during a school assignment, takes center stage.
When Benjamin's parents shared his poem with friends and family, they could not have anticipated that the poem would go viral. Now, for the first time, I Am Odd, I Am New is brought to life in an illustrated picture book that captures Benjamin's world view.
