Entertaining and useful, too: On the surface, the stories told in this series are fun, light-hearted, and sweet, but they also contain powerful tools for parents with sensitive kids, and a wonderful way for sensitive kids to see themselves. A proven method: The parent in this book utilizes a strategy for food introduction embraced by Dr. Emily Kuschner PhD of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Filling a void: There is such a need and market for fun, helpful books geared toward kids on the spectrum. The author has already been getting an overwhelming response.
