Spaghetti is Not a Finger Food (and Other Life Lessons) by Jodi Carmichael

There is a new book coming out about Connor, a young boy with Asperger Syndrome.  This is a great book for all kids, with special interest to kids in kindergarten – grade 4.  AMI is proud to be working with first time Winnipeg author, Jodi Carmichael, in its promotion and educating people about Asperger Syndrome.  Having had the chance to read the book and even have a blurb written on the back of the book, the book was really enjoyable.  The book will be released on December 3, in ebook form.  Please visit Jodi Carmichael’s website to keep up to date on launch of this book.
