Everyday Hero
“...in favor of the delightfully fresh prospective Alice provides”
— Professor Brev. Brenna | University of Manitoba
Alice doesn’t like noise, smells or strangers. She does like rules. Lots of rules. Nobody at her new school knows she has Asperger’s, so it doesn’t take long for her odd behavior to get her into trouble. When she meets Megan in detention, she doesn’t know what to make of her. Megan doesn’t smell, she’s not terribly noisy, and she’s not exactly a stranger, but is she a friend? Megan seems fearless to Alice—but also angry or maybe sad. Alice isn’t sure which. When Megan decides to run away, Alice resolves to help her friend, no matter how many rules she has to break or how bad it makes her feel.
“Insightful and sometimes moving, Alice’s evolving coming-of-age provides a prospective exploration of an unexpected friendship in the face of disability.”

— Lorna d’Entremont – Special Needs Book Review
Josh always has fun with his Grandpa George. They go on excursions! They race go-karts, ride roller coasters, and zoom across blue waters.
But one day everything changes ....
“School counselors work with students like Josh almost every day, but it can be challenging to find quality resources to help children cope with illness and aging. Kathleen Cherry... created this beautiful story to fill that void.”
