Description

---

A beautiful, colorful picture book for children which gives insight into the world of autism.

Kya goes to school with her best friend, Martha, who is also on the autistic spectrum but expresses herself very differently.

While Kya is quiet in the class, Martha is talkative and asks lots of questions. Both enjoy the sensation of eating, but Martha doesn’t understand that she can eat too much. Both like a bedtime routine, but while Kya can keep going until late at night, Martha knows when she is tired and takes herself to bed.
