Trey, the Chef

By Kira Parris-Moore

Autism is often stigmatized and looked at as a difficult road for parents and caregivers facing this challenge. However, children with autism have unique gifts and abilities that are often overshadowed by their social deficits. It is important to recognize the gifts in these children and to nurture their strengths. Trey the Chef, offers a unique perspective about my son who lives with autism by telling a story about my son's interest in cooking that will hopefully inspire people to look at children with autism differently.

Trey the Chef is the first book in The Heroes We Know series, a series about people who suffer with mental health and developmental challenges. This series highlights the symptoms of each diagnosis so children can recognize this in themselves and others. It also offers activities to assist these children in self-regulating and tackling these challenges early on. This series promotes compassion, emotional intelligence, and diversity.
