such a loving perspective of a parent having sons/daughters who are autistic. thank you so much to NetGalley and the author for letting me review this one ! 🤍

truly an amazing book to read to children and also as an awareness. my niece, who’s very dear to me, has autism as well and i just teared up when i read this 🥹 i believe that more people should have an understanding on what they are going through and how they perceive life and all things around and also why they react the way they do to certain things.

this book isn’t much of the informative type of book, but i hope it will get people to do their own research about the matter for a better understanding.

God Bless everyone ! 🙏🏻

There is something resembling every child here; for that I am grateful and it is something to bear in mind. The thought being, children need to be seen as individuals and loved for who they are.

However, these words encapsulate the additional difficulties children encounter negotiating their way in a world ordered by Autism. The poetic stanzas capture those elements and challenges Autism presents and speak across several situations to fashion a positive approach.

The words that resonate most strikingly are those of an everlasting love.
Always, is a wonderful title and our love for our children should be unconditional, enduring and without limits.

To care for an Autistic child demands patience and often exposes imperfect parenting skills. But this book isn’t about the formula to be better equipped or knowledgable but to adopt the measures that make it possible to overcome tantrums, upsets and misunderstandings.

Consistency, with a desire to learn and grow, all packaged up in a spirit of love. Where kindness and laughter abound and the journey is shared in respect and secure relationships.

Hopefully the book will inspire and inform. Bringing confidence that in our interactions with our children we can learn together and share their success.

This is a book written in rhyming text, which does a really good job of explaining some of the challenges faced by the children of autistic parents, as well as children with autism themselves. It provides a comprehensive overview of the day to day challenges that they must deal with.

The book is written with kindness and empathy, and throughout its pages, the message of a parent's unconditional love for their child is reiterated in a way that is really heartwarming. Highly recommended.
