Summary
Summary
A Sesame Street Big Golden Book about a new character with autism.
We're Amazing 1,2,3! is the first Sesame Street storybook to focus on autism, which, according to the most recent US government survey, may, in some form, affect as many as one in forty-five children. It's part of Sesame Street's autism initiative that has expanded to include a new character with autism. Elmo introduces his longtime friend Julia to Abby, who's a little confused at first because Julia isn't saying hello. Elmo explains that Julia has autism, so she does things a little differently. Julia sometimes avoids direct eye contact, flaps her arms when she's excited, and is sensitive to some noises. But Abby soon learns that she also has a lot of things in common with Julia. All kids want love, friendship, and to have fun! They are all wonderful, each in his or her own way.

Horn Book Review
Julia may play differently than most kids, but Elmo doesn't mind: both like building blocks, toy cars, and tablet games. While swinging (another favorite), Abby joins them on the playground. Elmo's casual description of Julia's autism emphasizes his organic acceptance of her, which helps Abby and Julia become friends, too. This Sesame Street story positively models inclusion, as do the recognizable illustrations. (c) Copyright 2019. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
