“Relatable characters, familiar scenarios, and gentle humor make this a
remarkably satisfying read.” —Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review
The second book in the acclaimed series is now in paperback! From the
creators of the Schneider Award-winning books A Friend for Henry and Henry,
Like Always, this delightful beginning chapter book about embracing new
experiences stars a sweet and sensitive child on the autism spectrum.
It’s Field Trip Day! Henry's class is excited to visit the museum, but Henry is not so
sure. The museum means maybe seeing dinosaurs, Henry's favorite. But it also means
a lot of things that are new: a noisy school bus ride, a building full of echoes and
hallways, and plenty of chances to get lost! Will he find something that makes all of
this new worth the trip? Come along with Henry in this funny, bighearted tale about
trying new things, exploring new places, and finding the courage to make
yourself heard.
JUST RIGHT FOR BEGINNING READERS: With short chapters and simple text, this book
is perfect for newly independent readers who are just moving on to longer books.
FIRST FIELD TRIP: This story will encourage and reassure any child beginning
school or preparing to embark on their first field trip as Henry navigates the
excitement (and potential anxiety) that comes with doing new things for the first time.
GREAT BACK-TO-SCHOOL READ: Perfect for any reader starting a new school year, the
Henry series explores common school experiences in a gentle, funny, and
encouraging way.
DIVERSE STORIES: Centering neurodivergent kids is vital to expanding diverse
representation across books for all ages. The Henry series provides a mirror and a
window for kids on the autism spectrum and their friends to see themselves in
the stories they read.
AN AWARD-WINNING TEAM: Jenn Bailey and Mika Song received a Schneider Family
Book Honor Award for their picture book A Friend for Henry. See how the story
continues in this classic-feeling early reader series based on the same character!
