Littlest Inventor - by Mandi Mathis (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The littlest inventor is a brilliantly colored picture book featuring a smart, sensitive boy with sensory issues. These issues make it challenging to experience something most of us have no problem with i.e., a simple trip to the grocery store. However, by being self-aware, creative and proactive, the littlest inventor succeeds in the very task he finds most difficult. He invents his own resources and tools to make the trip fun! For those with sensory processing disorder, life can often be overwhelming. But, when equipped with knowledge to help ourselves and confidence to be ourselves, life becomes not just manageable, but enjoyable. "There needs to be more emphasis on what a child can do instead of what he cannot do." - Dr. Temple Grandin

Review Quotes

These days, I'm finding myself reading a lot of really thick textbooks on the subject of autism and sensory processing disorder. As a children's book with limited text and some gorgeous illustrations, this was an absolute breeze to read. I really enjoyed It . . . If you have a young child with sensory issues, (or if you have an older child whose issues you need to explain to your younger children), this is a great book to get. If you have a elementary school or preschool library to stock, then this book belongs there. The Littlest Inventor is a great practical book with twin messages of "acceptance" and the will to overcome difficulties . . . --Gavin Bollard, Life-with-Asperger's.blogspot from Australia
