Who Is Temple Grandin?
By Patricia Bennan Demuth
Autism is a word we hear more and more. This book helps us understand the life of somebody with autism. Temple Grandin is a brilliant scientist and inventor but life wasn't always like this. This book talks about her childhood and what it was like growing up with a mind that thinks differently. Temple grew up during a time when people didn't accept these differences like we do now.
You could pair this book with the A Boy Called Bat series. "Bat" is a young boy who is also diagnosed with autism.
This series of Who Is, Who Was or What Is is a great way to introduce our young readers to nonfiction. They are recommended for readers between 8-12 years old.
