Review Quotes




"#sensoryinclusion is very important to us!! So when we found this amazing book that captures it so well, we just had to share."-- "Kulture City" (6/3/2020 12:00:00 AM)

"A beautiful message complemented with adorable, engaging illustrations."-- "PBS SoCal" (11/13/2020 12:00:00 AM)

"Authentic, adorable, and compassionate. A great way to talk about autism with kiddos."--@KWindness "Twitter" (6/5/2021 12:00:00 AM)

"Certainly autism presents itself in a number of ways. But one wonderful book to consider is My Brother Otto .... In it, a sister tells the reader about her brother, Otto, who is autistic. It's a sweet look at their close sibling relationship, while Raby still honestly acknowledges some of the characteristics that make kids with autism unique--like Otto's fixation with the color yellow, for example. By the end, you see that Otto is a kid who loves to play and have fun, just like his sister."--Kate Etue "Cool Mom Picks" (2/16/2022 12:00:00 AM)

"Debut author and SLP Meg Raby paints a picture of a beautiful sibling relationship in MY BROTHER OTTO. Piper and her little brother Otto do everything together -- play, sell lemonade, go the to park (where Otto loves flying on the swings) and go to story time at the library. Otto does things much differently compared to Piper in many ways. His differences as a child with autism are part of the story, but they're also embraced by his sister and family. Isn't that our hope for children with autism? We're so happy that this book is out in the world now and we hope that it makes its way to many classrooms and families."-- "@booksfordiversity" (11/20/2020 12:00:00 AM)

The book, published by Gibbs Smith Publishing, uses easy-to-understand language to explain Otto's differences in communication style and behaviors.-- "The ASHA Leader" (10/1/2019 12:00:00 AM)

Do yourself and your little one a favor-- run out and buy this book! What joy filled my heart to read a book to "my littles" which so eloquently, personally and compassionately captures the mindset of a beautiful little crow with non-verbal autism named Otto. I know the author's heart was to highlight our precious kiddos on the spectrum and give a voice to those that can often be overlooked. I believe this book will be cherished by all of our young ones who read it! The artwork is beautiful, the message timeless!
