  • ‘The book is such a hit. After reading it, two girls in different year groups began sharing their experiences’

    — Primary Senco

  • ‘This is a great book written for autistic girls-being truly seen and understood doesn’t just comfort a child, it shapes how they see themselves. In that space of recognition, children begin to feel safe, valued and whole, and that changes everything.’

    — Therapist

  • ‘This book is brilliant. So much information out there is about boys with autism and there is much less information about girls. This book fills that gap brilliantly, with practical advice and appealing illustrations. Absolutely indispensable!’

    — Dr Hainsworth, SEND Advisor
