Hello, I'm Hayes.: A Journey Through Autism With Hayes

By Adriane Davidson

Hello, I'm Hayes the Hedgehog is a gentle, rhyming children's book that introduces autism through the eyes of Hayes, a kind and curious hedgehog who experiences the world in his own way.

Through simple language and soft illustrations, Hayes shares how different brains can learn, feel, and communicate differently. This story explores sensory experiences, the importance of support, and the many ways people express themselves, while reminding readers that everyone's journey looks a little different.

Written with care and understanding, this book encourages kindness, empathy, and curiosity, and helps open meaningful conversations at home, in classrooms, and beyond. It offers a thoughtful, age-appropriate introduction to autism that celebrates learning, growth, and understanding.

Perfect for families, educators, and anyone looking for a warm story that promotes acceptance and connection.
