Much of the time, though, Anthony doesn’t want to play with Oliver. In author Andrea Yip’s My Brother, Oliver shares his feelings about what it’s like to have a brother with autism. Sometimes they’ll be playing and then Anthony just stops. He makes noises Oliver doesn’t always understand. And sometimes, Oliver feels his mom and dad love Anthony more than they love him. Written from Oliver’s perspective, My Brother helps young children with a special needs sibling to express their feelings. As the mother of a special needs child and a child without special needs, Yip has seen the struggle firsthand. My Brother shows children how to release their unspoken feelings and explains that we live in a world full of all kinds of people—and they are all special in their own ways. When we learn to accept each other, our world will be a better place to live.
