Product Description

KELLY (DEBORAH) & JONES (GWYNNETH) CHALK RAINBOW, THE 

Zane is different to other kids. He has his own made-up language. He likes to line things up. And he is frightened of things that dont seem to bother other people like the colour black. His father gets frustrated and angry with Zane. His mother tries hard to explain things to him. But nothing seems to work. Zane just scrunches himself up into a ball and screams. Things are looking pretty bleak for Zane and his family; that is, until Zanes big sister starts to draw a chalk rainbow at the top of the front steps The Chalk Rainbow explores difference and diversity through a family living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Its also a story of unconditional love, of trust and of learning to look at the world through the eyes of others. The story is told by Zanes older sister in a way that young children can easily relate to. The ending is uplifting as all members of the family learn to look at things differently and find a way to move forward together. EXISLE PUBLISHING LIMITED.
