Lilly and Myles: The Torch

Author: Jon RobertsIllustrator: Hannah Rounding

Autist Lilly, accompanied by Myles her assistance dog, explores the beach in a wonderful story that introduces autism to young children. The book is beautifully illustrated, easy to follow, and shows simply and emphatically how autists experience the world and why we all should be more accepting of each other’s differences. (Note: the term 'autism' is explicity mentioned on the back cover.)
