My Boy Emmitt

My Boy Emmitt is a heartfelt children's picture book that helps young readers understand autism through the everyday life of a remarkable boy named Emmitt.Emmitt may experience the world differently. He wears headphones when sounds become overwhelming, flaps his hands to express himself, and communicates in his own special ways. He loves colorful lights, dinosaurs, swimming, drawing, movies, and spending time with his dogs. He may not always use words, but he shares love through meaningful moments-including his special "third-eye hug."Written with honesty and love by Emmitt's mother, this gentle story encourages children to look beyond differences and recognize the unique ways people communicate, connect, and experience the world. My Boy Emmitt is a celebration of autism, acceptance, patience, kindness, and unconditional love.
