What happens when your world suddenly changes, and no one can tell you exactly when your dad will come home?
Meet Leo, a bright and loving autistic boy who is learning to navigate a year without his dad, who has deployed overseas. For Leo, waiting is especially difficult because he finds comfort in routines, clear answers, and knowing what comes next. But this year, there isn't a calendar that can tell him exactly when his dad will return.
As the months pass, Leo discovers that every month brings something new to celebrate. From colorful Okinawan and American traditions and beautiful flowers to kind family and everyday adventures, he begins to see the world through a rainbow of colors, love, and hope. Each month helps him grow a little stronger while reminding him that love can reach across any distance.
Filled with warmth, gentle encouragement, and the vibrant culture of Okinawa, Leo's Special Year is a heartfelt story for military families, autistic children, and anyone learning that even during life's hardest seasons, love is always with us.
