Key Stage: KS1Subject area: Health and Wellbeing, RelationshipsKey themes: Autism, behaviour, friendshipIn this second book of the series, Kya is now going to school and has a best friend, Martha, who is also on the autistic spectrum but expresses herself very differently. Whilst Kya is quiet in the class, Martha is talkative and asks lots of questions. Both enjoy the sensation of eating, but Martha doesn't understand that she can eat too much. Both like a bedtime routine, but whilst Kya can keep going until late at night, Martha knows when she is tired and takes herself to bed. Through the Eyes of Us is an insight into the world of children with autism and an ideal tool for discussion with young readers.Praise for Through the Eyes of Me: 'Delightfully told and beautifully illustrated, Through the Eyes of Me will help siblings, classmates and anyone who knows a child on the autism spectrum.'
