( ) This is a story about a boy named Sammy and he is having a bad day. Instead of being comforted by his mom, he feels like he is being pushed to the side since his little brother, Benji, is autistic and needs more attention. Benji noticed that Sammy was crying in the kitchen and he comforts his brother by wrapping him in a blanket, the same way his mom does to him when he's having a rough day. Sammy feels much better after his little brother's gesture that he decides to play with him. He's reminded that whether they have a good day or a bad day, they will be okay since they have each other. This is a great book to teach younger kids about caring for others. The boy in this story is having a bad day. His little brother is on the autism spectrum and typically takes up more of their parent's time. But, he sets out on a mission to cheer up his brother through this likes rolling him up into a burrito. This is something that is hard for children with autism to do. So, this shows the growth of the younger brother and relying on family when times are tough. no reviews | add a review
