Dr. Temple Grandin, the world's leading expert on autism and subject of the award-winning 2010 biographical HBO film, Temple Grandin, is an inspiration to everyone who knows her and her work. She has authored many books helping, advising, and inspiring people on the autism spectrum, but, until now, there has been no picture book to share her ideas with younger readers. That changes on October 9, 2015.
October celebrates National Sensory Awareness Month, a perfect time for the new children's book, "Temple Did It, and I Can Too!: Seven Simple Life Rules" to make its appearance. Jennifer Gilpin Yacio, president of Sensory World and editor-in-chief of Sensory Focus Magazine writes her first children's book in collaboration with Dr. Grandin. It offers a unique and helpful story of advice and insight that includes the "7 Rules for Success" directly from Temple's extensive experience, which will have a positive impact on any reader. "I made sure to keep myself neat and clean, and always have good manners," Temple says, in "Temple Did It, and I Can Too!" along with other "rules," including - "practice and hone your skills." Topics such as manners, hygiene, and skill development are just a few that are covered in this beautifully illustrated hardcover children's book. At the back of the book, there are worksheets to help children to identify and reach their goals, which can be completed with help from a parent or guardian.Videos
