Why read it?
1 author picked It's So Difficult as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book so much! With his beautiful child-like drawings, Guridi masterfully helps the reader see life from the perspective of a neurodiverse child struggling with day-to-day life. Guridi does this by juxtaposing limited palette drawings with off-white backgrounds with full-page black background pages showing the text of the child’s inner dialogue.
This book would be amazing for both a neurodiverse child managing his or her own life and a parent trying to envision this child’s inner struggles.
From Jennifer's list on relatable neurodiverse characters.
