Both the bench and the nature preserve pictured here were the inspiration for the character of Boba and her woodsy home in the A Nose Apart books – a series for young readers (approximately ages 8-12) – or as read alouds for even younger children.
These books are dear to my heart because they gently explore issues like physical differences, Down syndrome, homelessness, bullying, racial equity, abuse, foster care etc., through the eyes of the fictional Boba – a highly curious, fun, caring, and very unique character who will make you both laugh and cry – in a good way.
I’m in the process of writing the fourth book in the series which will feature a main character who is autistic. This story is very special to me because my oldest grandson is autistic, and I want readers to understand that his life is no less valuable because he’s autistic.
For now, I hope you’ll get one or more of the first three books in the series for the summer readers in your life. What better way for a child to spend their summer than with their nose in the A Nose Apart books? 😉
