Why read it?
1 author picked A Day with No Words as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Tiffany Hammond has created a poetic and authentic window into the world of she and her family. I’ve never read anything else like this: from the way the words flow on each page to the gorgeous illustrations by Kate Cosgrove, I was blown away by this book.
With so many external, negative perspectives on the nonverbal autistic experience, it’s so important to see stories of nonverbal autistic individuals, told from their perspective, that show the depth of their experience. This book has stayed with me long after I closed the page at the end of the story’s “day.”
From Calyssa's list on children’s books with neurodivergent protagonists.
