PreS-K–A big life is distilled into a short book. This board book honors the format and audience by keeping the text simple and the story chronological. For families on neurodivergent paths, Thunberg’s story might feel comforting or even familiar. The artwork is colorful, modern, and clean, encouraging readers to focus on this articulate young woman and her story.
VERDICT For libraries looking to offer toddlers and preschoolers books that represent autism in childhood, this board book is a sweet and informative read.
