Told in deliciously dancing rhyme and with Zeke Clough's wonderfully innocent cartoon style, this book is for the untold heroes of The Thing - the brothers and sisters who are learning what it means to have a sibling on the spectrum.Written for the 6yr old sibling of her eldest son, this is the story of the missing character, the silent partner, the unsung hero of Rachel's other book - "The Thing - A Young Boy's Journey with Asperger Syndrome" It tells of the little jealousies, frustrations and perceptions of a little boy...and the gentle shifting of his understanding of his brother. With parent/carer notes, this book is not simply for brothers and sisters of children on the Autistic Spectrum. It applies to any sibling trying to understand from the side-lines of disorder and offers a sensitive and accessible route to opening discussion with children across both mainstream and specialist settings about the nature of diversity and acceptance.
