A 2020 Bank Street Best Book and the second title in the acclaimed
Slug Days Stories, now in paperback Lauren and her family drive to
a farm in North Dakota to visit relatives and celebrate her Auntie
Joss' 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 strategies to manage 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. 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.
