Ways to Play by Lyn Miller-Lachmann

Riley has plenty of ways to play; like lining up dolls and stuffies by size and
shape. Tearing up newspapers and making piles into mountains, using sharp
crayons to draw big swirly patterns. But bossy cousin Emma thinks those
ways are wrong, wrong, and wrong. And she makes no bones about letting
Riley know exactly what her opinion is. Fortunately, Charlie the dog is on hand
to help with a breakthrough demonstration that there are MANY ways to play;
and all of them are right.
Based on experiences that Lyn Miller Lachman had growing up as an Autistic
child and illustrated with the humor, tenderness and understanding that
perhaps only an artist like Gabriel Alborozo, himself an Autistic creator, could
bring, here is an empowering validation of the value of individual expression.
And a whole lot of fun.

Lyn Miller-Lachmann is an author, translator, and teacher. Her books for

Persisted: Temple Grandin, and the verse novel Moonwalking, co-authored

grandchildren and advocates for the autistic community.
Gabriel Alborozo is a cartoonist and illustrator based in East Sussex. Over
the years his work has appeared regularly in numerous magazines and

Old Dog
