Continuing 2020 ALPHABET CHALLENGE, Author Edition: Letter “H”
National Autism Awareness Month
Naoki Higashda, the author I picked for the letter “H” is thirteen years old and autistic.

One of my Advanced Writing students chose this book for her Memoir Project Assignment this semester, and she recommended the book so highly, I bought it to read for April, National Autism Awareness Month. I’m so glad I did.
I reviewed this book on “Powerful Women Readers” (Put the title in the search box and it will give you a link to “Literacy and Me,” my “other” blog.) earlier this month. If you are searching for an excellent non-fiction read, I highly recommend this one.
Hee hee. FUN-NY!!
