Looking after Louis Big Book
By Lesley Ely
Illustrated by Polly Dunbar
A sensitive story about a child with special needs and how he learns to make friends with his classmates in a mainstream school.
“There’s a new boy at school called Louis. Louis sits next to me and I look after him. He’s not quite like the rest of us. Sometimes I wonder what he’s thinking about. He often just sits and stares at the wall. If I ask him what he’s looking at he says, ‘Looking at’ and carries on looking.” This introduction to the issue of autism shows how – through imagination, kindness, and a special game of football – Louis’s classmates find a way to join him in his world. Then they can include Louis in theirs.
- Big Book format ideal for use in the classroom.
