Something different, which is good!
I am the parent of a child with autism and I was looking for something to read to him. This book and the other by the same author (do you talk the way I talk?) are something I was looking for where is showed a child like mine in a approachable way that I rarely see in children’s books. I appreciate the time in the illustration and overall thought put into this book. My child does not have an ACC device but it’s great to see different segments of the autism community represented! I can’t wait for the next book!

I always want more characters who use AAC in books, but this isn't one I'll recommend. The font is horrifically awful to read, it is against best practice to give a new user only a few words, and while I understand the concept behind how they laid out the text, symbolated text is harmful to kids learning to read. Not that many kids could translate this font--the lower case i is especially hard to parse. Plus each word/symbol in a square isn't even how the high tech device pictured would show user text, and that format makes reading it even more complicated.

Others ways of communication
This is a beautiful way for non verbal children to communicate with mom and dad, siblings, new friends along and the world. The is a great way to share other ways of communication with young children. The Illustrations compliments the story

So helpful to so many
It’s great that this story explains how some people can use devices to communicate better. The book exposes children difference learning techniques and the technology is now out there. This will be so helpful to so many.
