Description
Developed from the Ready, Eddie, Go! animated TV show, each book in this series highlights an area that autistic children find challenging and provides gentle and supportive strategies to help children find ways of coping, which all children can benefit from. The books use clear structure as well as visuals to help readers understand the story and identify strategies that may help when they face similar experiences.
There are prompts and interactive elements that can be followed independently, or with a trusted adult.
In this book, Eddie plays boardgames with his friends. He learns that it's ok to feel disappointed if you don't win a game, and what you can do to make yourself feel better. Playing with others can be a lot of fun!
Beautifully illustrated, and presented in Eddie's trademark friendly voice, the Ready, Eddie, Go! series is designed to speak directly to young autistic children and to provide them with the reassurance and advice they need to be happy day-to-day.
Eddie sometimes finds things tricky. He understands that you do too, and he's here to help you figure out a way through the tough stuff! Using characters from the Ready, Eddie, Go! TV show, books in this series tackle some of the experiences autistic children may find challenging, and provide gentle guidance by learning what to expect visually.
