Publisher Description: An 8-year old girl decides to make a list of all the things she likes and dislikes about dealing with her autistic brother, and in doing so realizes that she has created A Manual for Marco. "Through her genuine and caring accounts about growing up with an older, autistic brother, this 8-year-old also shows her love for her sibling who is special but sometimes does things that are not-so-special. I highly recommend this book written with sensitivity and beautifully illustrated." --Lorna d'Entremont, M.Ed., Special Needs Book Review "Shaila Abdullah proves to be a great ambassador for autism, using explanations and warm, welcoming illustrations in A Manual for Marco that give a complex condition a simpler explanation." --C. Hope Clark, Author of The Carolina Slade Mysteries and The Edisto Island Mysteries "A Manual for Marco is a welcome addition to children's literature that will help in introducing the condition of autism to young people and providing information that will enable them to understand a little more about it so that it will not seem so scary." --Wayne Walker, Home School Book Reviews For more information, please visit www.ShailaAbdullah.com SHAILA ABDULLAH is an award-winning author and designer based in Austin, Texas.
