Friendship--and trains!--take center stage in this gentle, inviting
story about paying attention to other people's feelings. Two boys'
fun train-track-building project takes a turn when one of the boys
obliviously insists on only doing things his way. Their
disagreement spells disaster for the train and the friendship,
until a kind teacher steps in and explains how to tell when a
friend is feeling happy, frustrated, or angry. . . and how to ask
for a do-over. Compromising and paying attention to how other
people are feeling can be hard for any kid, but especially for kids
on the autism spectrum. Samatha Cotterill's third book in the
Little Senses series provides gentle guidance along with adorable
illustrations to help every kid navigate the twists and turns of
friendship and working together.
