My Friend Mikey: A Story About Autism, Kindness, and Friendship is a heartwarming children's book that helps young readers understand autism through the power of friendship.
Told from the perspective of Pete, this story follows his best friend Mikey, who experiences the world in a different way. From loud sounds and sensory overwhelm to communication challenges, Pete learns simple, meaningful ways to support his friend with patience, kindness, and care.
Through relatable, everyday moments, children will learn how to:
- Be kind and inclusive to friends with autism
- Understand sensory sensitivities like loud noises
- Practice patience when a friend communicates differently
- Support others using calming strategies like deep breathing
- Respect differences and build strong friendships
This engaging story introduces important social-emotional learning (SEL) skills in a way that is easy for young children to understand and apply in everyday life.
Perfect for ages 4-8, this book is ideal for preschool through 2nd grade classrooms, as well as parents, teachers, and counselors who want to support autism awareness and inclusion.
Whether read at home or in the classroom, My Friend Mikey encourages children to be compassionate, patient, and accepting-because everyone deserves a friend who understands them.
