“Can you hear it? Voices. Splashes upon splashes of sound.”
This simple little paragraph is the opening page of a captivating story on seeing things through a different looking glass.
Written to explain the way an autistic child hears and see’s things it goes somewhat deeper than that and gives you a small insight into the imaginary perspective of a child, not just one who has autism.
Through the medium of a paper plane a child says “Look at me, I’m here”. I don’t look any different but I am. If I could fly what could I do? I can build a paper plane and fly. I could do all sorts of things. Go all sorts of places.
I fly and when my paper plane lands I find a friend who says,” Look at me, I’m here.”
A beautiful, gentle perspective on life, differences and acceptance. Written on several different levels there is something for all in this simple, yet not so simple, children’s storybook.
