I’m Ruby, five and autistic, and kindergarten starts today. Bea is my new classmate.
Their bridge needs just one more block. I hold one out for them to use.
Outside, shoes patter all around the looping path. I hurry over, wanting a turn, too.
How it was made

Made from this idea

Every community book can show the idea it started from. Use it as a starting point, then change the story, style or format.

“Ruby is a five-year-old nonspeaking autistic girl starting kindergarten. She wants to join the other children, but nobody will play with her. Tell the story from Ruby’s perspective, showing her feelings and ways of communicating without treating speech as something she must learn to belong.”
