Thanksgiving can overwhelm our friends with autism – a day filled with unpredictable events as well as swirls of new smells and sounds and people. This book introduces some Thanksgiving traditions through Max, a youngster who learns to ‘go with the flow.’ Abby Levine’s book is enhanced by Paige Billiin-Frye’s illustrations and the sing-song nature of the text. Even adults can enjoy the humor of an unexpected turn of events as everyone in the story sits down for a Thanksgiving feast. The book is copyrighted by Levine and Billin-Frye in 2000, and published by Scholastic, Inc. in NY.
