Items related to My Brother Sammy
Sammy does not go to school with his older brother. Sammy has to go to school on a special bus. They cannot play in the park together. Sammy lies under the tree and watches the leaves. They are constantly at cross purposes because Sammy is autistic and does not know how to be a 'normal brother.' Then one day the older brother realises that he should not demand everything on his own terms and that Sammy's way of doing things may not be so bad. This moving book realistically portrays life with an autistic child in the family. It does not promise any simple solution but reminds us all that understanding and compromise are vital ingredients in a good relationship.

Review:
"'My Brother Sammy' is a moving book with a subtle power" -- The Lady
From the Publisher:
Sammy is special - he is different and does not do anything the way an ordinary brother would. He can't play games in the park with the other children; instead he lies on his back and watches the sun shine through the trees. He can't make tunnels for the cars in the sand, instead he just lets the sand trickle through his fingers. And his older brother takes some time to learn that being special just means that you have to develop a special relationship.
This evocative story describes how different we all are and reminds us that patience and acceptance are vital ingredients in all good relationships.
