Terrence Tullgren tells the fresh and inspiring story of a shy
young boy who learns an empowering secret for making new friends by
watching the community behavior of deer in the woods near his new
home. To make friends, Donnie sees that he must make eye contact
and show the deer a happy, welcoming face. His new observation
helps Donnie break through his shy habit of avoiding eye contact
and the deer respond with friendship. Donnie gains the confidence
to approach a boy his age with the same warm, smiling face and a
new bond of friendship begins. Originally designed for children
with autism who struggle to connect with others, Donnie Makes New
Friends provides a simple way for ANY child to understand a basic
skill of human communication: eye contact and a welcoming face. The
story is beautifully told, in words any child can easily relate to
and understand. The pencil-line illustrations by Charles Gibson
skillfully compliment the text and provide a wonderful coloring
book opportunity to reinforce this important lesson. The cover is
published in black and white as to not give the reader a
preconceived notion as to how he should color the interior pages,
thus allowing the child to express his own imagination and
creativity. The result is a must-own book for any child. Tullgren
weaves a story both touching and impactful for young hearts and
minds.
