Noah's Wonderful World is a super fun and heartwarming children’s book that does a fantastic job of teaching kids and grown-ups about autism in a way that's easy to understand. Noah, an adorable autistic toddler, takes us through his day, showing us what his world looks like. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and full of life, making it engaging for young readers.
One of the coolest things about the book is that there’s helpful info for adults on almost every page. It breaks down why autistic children might act a certain way, like how repetition can feel calming or why some kids love sensory experiences while others avoid them. It’s like a mini-lesson for parents while the kids enjoy the story, which is awesome.
The fantastic illustrations are packed with fun details, too. There’s always something to spot. I loved seeing things like a little brain sitting on Dad’s shoulder when he had a good idea or colorful music notes floating around when Noah listened to his favorite sounds.
At the end, there’s a bunch of activities for kids to try and a section just for caregivers with a complete breakdown of what autism is, how it can show up in different ways, and tips on how to support and advocate for autistic children.
Noah's Wonderful World is a perfect picture book for anyone who knows someone with autism or just wants to understand it better. It’s fun, beautifully illustrated, and surprisingly informative. I think a lot of readers will walk away learning something new.
