Mad Max and the Brave Little Ask
In this touching new story, Max faces a different kind of challenge-one that doesn't involve numbers or food, but something much harder: making a new friend.
Max, who has autism, often finds it tricky to talk to other kids. Crowded playgrounds and noisy laughter can feel overwhelming, and asking someone to play can seem like the scariest thing in the world. But when Max sees another child playing during recess, something inside him wants to join. He just has to find the courage to speak up.
Mad Max and the Brave Little Ask beautifully captures the quiet bravery it takes for neurodivergent children to reach out and connect. With heartfelt emotion and gentle storytelling, this story helps young readers understand the social challenges autistic children may face-and the strength behind every brave little ask.
A must-read for promoting inclusion, building empathy, and celebrating the small yet powerful steps that make big connections possible.
