Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
My Brother
Andrea Yip · 2016
68/100
👎 Skip It
Andrea Yip writes from lived experience as a parent of a child with autism, and that authenticity comes through in how honestly she captures Oliver's loneliness and confusion — feelings that often get glossed over in inclusion-themed picture books. The thin critical record and uncertain publication details keep the score from going higher, but families navigating this situation may find it genuinely useful.
