The China Doll
By D.M. Rosner
Through the captivating story of a young girl who receives an extraordinary doll, author D.M. Rosner hopes to raise autism awareness among children ages 4-8 with her new book, The China Doll. This beautifully illustrated, hardcover picture book teaches children in grades K-3 about their peers with autism. Using the story of a girl who receives an unusual doll, the book relates some of the most common characteristics of children with autism, and shows young readers that differences sometimes hide wonderful surprises. A section for parents and educators helps facilitate interaction between children and their peers with autism.
