Watch me bloom when I have big feelings
When Olivia, a 5 year old girl with autism, feels so overwhelmed by her shyness and anxiety that she's on the verge of a meltdown, she meets Rosie, her Bloom Buddy, who introduces her to the 'Bravery Bubble' and other coping strategies for managing her emotions.
"[My 6-year-old ASD son] said 'Hello, do you want to be my friend?' [and] 'Do you want to play?' I'd never heard him say this before and asked his therapist if this was something they were working on. She said no. It didn't click until today that he got it from this book. I have and will recommend both books to everyone I know with ASD kids." -Verified Purchaser of Watch Me Bloom When I Make New Friends
