From the award-winning creators of Slug Days Lauren and her family
drive to a farm in North Dakota to visit relatives and celebrate
her Aunt Jossie's wedding. But Lauren finds to her dismay that she
is expected to do more than meet adults who hug her and invade her
personal space. Lauren is going to be-horror of all horrors-a
flower girl. Lauren has Autism Spectrum Disorder, and she sees the
world a little differently from other kids. What makes her
comfortable are her routines and her coping mechanisms for her
anxiety, which can get out of control in no time. So it is a
challenge to deal with her rambunctious cousins, try on scratchy
dresses, and follow impossible directions about going down aisles
slowly-but-not-like-a-sloth and tossing pretend flowers around. So
is it any surprise that Lauren flips her lid more than once? But
while having an extended family seems like a lot of trouble at
first, she's about to learn just how much they can care for one
another. In Penguin Days, two award winners revisit second-grader
Lauren from the acclaimed Slug Days with equal humor and empathy.
Drawing on her experience teaching children with ASD, Sara Leach
creates an energetic character who stomps eloquently off the page.
And Rebecca Bender's delightful black-and-white illustrations show
in Lauren's fraught situations and facial expressions all the love
and assertiveness that could possibly dwell together in one unique
little person.
