Synopsis

Rennon is 6 years-old and in kindergarten. He is nonverbal and uses sign language to communicate, but he really wants to make friends.

In her lovely, illustrated children's book Need A Friend?, Nicole Latimer teaches kids and their parents about the world as seen through her son, Rennon's eyes. Learning to communicate with nonverbal people can be a challenge but the rewards are great. This book gives us insight as to how to make friends with children that have a different way of speaking and learning.

No two kids are alike, and we all face challenges. It's how we deal with those challenges that defines us.

Rennon is a happy, intelligent, playful, and loving child, just like any other kid in your school or community. He just thinks a bit differently and responds in a different way than most children who are not on the spectrum. Rennon wants to engage with others and express himself fully. He loves to be around other kids and is very friendly. For Rennon, sign language is the key to communicating his thoughts and feelings with his family and his friends.

If you know or have a child who is considered on the spectrum and want to better understand how to communicate with kids like Rennon, this book will be a great learning experience for your entire family.
