Autism Awareness Doesn't End in April

To say that I'm excited over how Chicken Boy is touching people since MeeGenius published it in early March would be an understatement. It seems now people are buying it on both the digital platform as well as the print version that came out last week from ASD Publishing. 


I have already gone to the school in Nutley that won the library of books from MeeGenius and spoke to the class there twice. Next week, I'll be at another elementary school in NJ talking about the book. And still other people have reached out to me about coming to their child's school. (I know we're hitting the end of the school year  - but I plan to continue talking about the book into next year and as long as people want to hear about it...just drop me a note if you have a school in mind.)


There are a few public events coming up as well.


I will be at the Well Read Book Store in Hawthorne NJ on Sunday, May 6 at 4:00 pm

In late June, I'm traveling to Maine to talk about my adult novel...but naturally I will be discussing Chicken Boy as well. I find I want to talk about it wherever I go and I really appreciate the enthusiasm others have as they download the book or get a copy in the mail. (And when you do...please take photos and share them on my Facebook page for us all to see!)
Lastly, I wanted to share this wonderful blog from a teacher in California. He was discussing autism awareness with his 6th graders and read the book to them and had them write 'reviews' to turn in to him. So wonderful to read each of them.


Remember: Autism Awareness month may be ending today on April 30th...but awareness doesn't need to end.
