Review

"Isaac and His Amazing Asperger Superpowers!" by Melanie Walsh is a children's picture book about a boy named Isaac. Isaac has Asperger Syndrome. He narrates the book, telling us how his superpowered brain works differently than other kids. Isaac may seem a bit more active at times, or need to fidget with a toy while the teacher talks, or be bothered by the lights in a room. The book is funny and well written and gives kids a good intro as to how and why children with Asperger's may act differently. I would recommend it for most libraries.
