Temple did it and I can too is a kid's picture book about Temple Grandin's seven life rules. It tells parts of Temple's story in a kid-friendly manner while giving clear advice on how to handle the challenges that life on the autism spectrum presents.There are two typefaces used throughout the book, one for the story and the other for Temple’s words. When it comes to the rules, the book addresses the reader directly giving both the rule and advice for following them.Lynda Farrington Wilson’s illustrations take a little getting used to but suit the book perfectly. They are full of detail, illustrating Temple’s life, thoughts and dreams. If you have children on the spectrum, you will recognise the level of detail in these drawings.At the end of the book, there are some questions aimed at getting the reader to think about how they can fit Temple’s rules into their life goals.This book serves as an excellent introduction to this extraordinary woman and is a great starting point for helping kids with autism to get their life goals and actions aligned.
Temple Grandin is an inspiration for all ages. I am so pleased to find a children's book on her that I have purchased 20 copies to share with family, friends, and teachers working with autistic children. I just learned this afternoon the book has already received an award.
My 10 yr old son LOVES this book! It is a real conversation starter between the two of us. He is on the spectrum and adores Temple Grandin. We are going to hear her speak in Sioux Falls next week and plan to ask her to autograph this book.
Over the years, Temple Grandin has been a tremendous teacher and inspiration to parents, adults on the spectrum, and professionals on understanding autism and how to help individuals on the autism spectrum. With this book, Jennifer Gilpin, has successfully facilitated the treasure that is Temple to the youngsters on the spectrum. Beautifully written and illustrated.
Great book! I used it to explain to my grandson why his cousin acts the way he does. Very informative for anyone.
