The Boy Who Loves to Lick the Wind

Author: Fiona CarswellIllustrator: Yu Rong

A heart-warming story of friendship between two boys (one is autistic, and one is neurotypical), all set on a beautiful beach. The textured illustrations and gentle narrative work together to celebrate the different ways that neurodiverse people view the world, and also demonstrate that everyone can learn something from others.
