Program Description

This Visiting Author Presentation focuses on disability acceptance & inclusion while connecting to the presenter's novel, "Little Big Sister," a realistic fiction chapter book written at the third grade level for readability and content. The main character in the novel describes what it is like to grow up with an older brother who has autism. By attending this program, students learn about different disabilities and the process of writing realistic fiction while becoming inspired to make a positive difference in their schools and communities. Great presentation for Autism Awareness Month (April) and Disability Awareness Month (October).
