Beskrivning

Selected by the Reading Agency for the Summer Reading Challenge 2018.Giving a father's insight into life with his daughter Maria, aged 12, who has autism, this comic tells the story of their week holiday in the Canary Islands, Spain. Delightful illustrations and dialogue between father and daughter show the day-to-day challenges that people with autism and their carers face, and how Miguel and Maria overcome them. Funny and endearing, this comic helps to show how Maria sees and experiences the world in her own way and that she's unique, just like everyone else.

Recensioner i media

This is essentially a father's description of life with his autistic daughter. However, its humorous voice and quirky graphic book style make for a highly unusual end result.Particularly poignant is a page of faces, representing the expressions that Gallardo particularly dislikes seeing other people make when they see Maria.The comic book style of artwork reflects the value of clear simple images and pictograms to those on the autistic spectrum and others with communication difficulties.Gallardo's overriding message? Maria is 'unique - just like everyone else'.
