Awesome Ozzie is an autism book for the quiet kids who will change the world. It's an autism book for kids who are picked on for being different, shunned for staying silent, and mocked for their wonderfully unique way of interacting with the world. Unlike most autistic kids books, Awesome Ozzie takes place on an underwater farm so dirty that color has disappeared. The gray parrots who call this place home have lost their brilliant coloration and face certain doom if help is not found quickly. Without saying a word, Ozzie alone tries to clean up this dark world. But he needs help to save his home. And that's when we finally meet him... the legend of Big Don. This could be considered one of the many autism books for kids to further autism awareness and autism acceptance , but it was created to inspire any child who's picked on for being "different." Social-emotional books for kids and other autistic kids books often try to change children in order to make them more "normal." But Awesome Ozzie is one of the autism books for kids that celebrates children for who they already are. Nonverbal autism books for parents, and picture books in general, should open children's eyes to the fact that they are amazing and special just the way they are. Simply put, Awesome Ozzie is not like other autism books for children. It was inspired by the thousands of behavior therapists who show autistic kids that they most certainly do belong in our world.

Ozzie can't wait for you and your amazing child to discover his inspirational journey.
