They say Theresa has a tism - and that makes her different. But what if different is actually wonderful?
In this beautifully written and illustrated picture book, a young girl named Theresa shows the world that her unique way of thinking isn't something to fix - it's something to celebrate.
With clever rhymes and creative wordplay, Theresa Has a Tism reclaims the labels often used to describe neurodivergent children - transforming criticism into criticiSM, childish into childishISM, and different into a badge of pride.
This book:
- Empowers children with autism and other neurodiverse traits
- Helps peers, parents, and teachers understand and appreciate difference
- Promotes empathy, inclusion, and kindness in classrooms and at home
Featuring bright, engaging illustrations and a special glossary of ISMs, this book is ideal for ages 5-9 and perfect for discussions about diversity, acceptance, and emotional intelligence.
Whether your child is neurodivergent, has a classmate who is, or just needs a reminder that being yourself is always enough - Theresa Has a Tism belongs on your shelf.
