Lauren's a second grader who sees the world a little differently than the other kids at school. She's on the Autism Spectrum, so even though she has her routines and coping mechanisms that help her stay comfortable and manage her anxiety, some days and experiences are just a little more difficult. When Lauren’s family travels to visit relatives in North Dakota, Lauren is dismayed to find that she needs to meet new people who invade her personal space. On top of that, she has to wear a scratchy dress while walking as slow-as-a-sloth down the aisle as a flower girl in her Aunt Joss’s wedding. When Lauren starts to go a little crazy, she learns that all those new annoying people care for her a lot, just the way she is. With straightforward text and black & white illustrations, Penguin Days gives insight into how a young person with ASD navigates her world. 104 pages, softcover. Ages 7 to 10.
