Description

"beautifully illustrated book [which] will help other children to be more understanding and accepting of autism." - Temple Grandin, author of The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum and Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism. Meet the boy next door, who has autism, and his extraordinary love for the wind. "You should try it," says his mom, and so they set off to the beach, where all the best winds reside. In this enchanting story, two young boys embark on an unforgettable adventure by the sea. One communicates not with words but by tossing stones into the waves, while the other finds joy in collecting seashells and crafting intricate sandcastles. Their worlds may seem different, but the ocean has a way of weaving its magic. "The Boy Who Loves to Lick the Wind" is a touching story of friendship, acceptance, and the beauty of shared experiences. Join us on this heartwarming journey of discovery and togetherness.

Author Biography:

Fiona Carswell is the mother of two boys - one autistic and the other neurotypical - and lives in East Lothian, Scotland. By day, she is a publicist in the Arts & Books sector, promoting (other people's) books, literary prizes, book festivals, cultural projects, venues and events. In her spare time, Fiona writes occasionally for the Scottish press - mainly the Scotsman - and enjoys flying the flag for Autism Awareness Week each year, giving readers a glimpse into a world they may know very little about and which can be as hilarious as it is challenging, as life-affirming as it is sometimes heart-breaking, and as brilliantly, heart-burstingly bananas as it can be serious, overwhelming and utterly terrifying. The Boy Who Loves to Lick the Wind is Fiona's first book.
