"Oh No, Ousman " is a funny and heartwarming picture book about a little boy named Ousman, who is autistic and has big sensory loves-especially beads and apples. When Ousman and his mom go to the grocery store, Ousman's excitement sometimes takes over. He spots his favorite things from far away and can't help moving closer... and closer... until kids shout:
"OH NO, OUSMAN "
Whether he's reaching for beads in a girl's hair or poking a wobbly stack of apples, Ousman learns-little by little-with lots of love, patience, and gentle guidance from Mom. The story celebrates curiosity, learning, and the message that:
Different isn't bad... it's just different.
And often, it's pretty awesome.
