Book post from last week...

My translation of The Wrong Planet by Holger Nils Pohl, illustrated by Benjamin Dammeier. A book for children of all ages on the experience of autistic people. Everyone is different, this is the author's own & his family's experience of autism. Many thanks to Nick Rosenthal for sensitivity reading.
