Callie is very proud of her brother Charlie. He’s good at so
many things -- swimming, playing the piano,
running fast. And Charlie has a special way with animals,
especially their dog, Harriett.
But sometimes
Charlie gets very quiet.
His words get locked
inside him, and he seems far away.
Then, when
Callie and Charlie start to play, Charlie is back to
laughing, holding hands, having fun. Charlie is like
any other boy – and he has autism.
In this story,
told from a sister’s point of view, we meet a family whose
oldest son teaches them important lessons about
togetherness, hope, tolerance, and love.
Holly Robinson Peete, bestselling author, actress,
and national autism spokesperson, has paired with her
daughter, Ryan, to co-author this uplifting book based on
their own personal experiences with Holly’s son and Ryan’s
brother, RJ, who has autism.
