My Sister Emma by Gina Conger
Autism... also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD)... is a diagnosis consisting of a wide variety of symptoms and/or characteristics. There are four different types of autism that fall under the ASD umbrella, and no one person experiences it in the same way as someone else. General characteristics of autism may include challenges in verbal communication, repetitive movements, and difficulties with social skills. Since autism is a spectrum disorder, some people will be significantly impacted by it and require lifelong support, whereas others will be highly skilled and able to live independently with minimal or no assistance.
My Sister Emma by Gina Conger (affiliate link to Amazon) is about a little girl Emma who has autism. She does not 'suffer' from it... she has family and friends who love her and is able to live a full and happy life with the help of a few supports. What kind of supports does Emma use and how do they help her? Keep reading to find out!November 18, 2020

The Adventures of Noah by Lori Brown
Animal shelters provide an important service in our communities. They bring in dogs, cats, and other animals who are homeless or unwanted. The people who work at animal shelters make sure the animals get proper food to eat and clean water to drink. They also clean their cages, take the dogs on walks, and provide medical treatment to the animals as needed. It is estimated that as many as 62 million dogs and 64 million cats are in animal shelters across the United States. Some of these animals will be adopted into loving homes. Unfortunately, many will not. The Adventures of Noah (affiliate link to Amazon) tells the story of one lucky puppy who finds his 'happily-ever-after.'
