A NEW BOOK
for which I shot the cover photograph, is just coming out. I think you can pre-order the book from the Publisher, should you happen to be a teacher who has an inclusion classroom with kids with autism! The publishers wanted the cover photo to be authentic, and it really is. The little boy in the photo really does have autism, and really was in a regular classroom with some extra supports (you can see his wonderful aide behind him.) The teachers, students and administrators at the school, Philladelphia's Penn Alexander, could not have been nicer or more helpful to me. The whole job was a pleasure, from beginning to end.
Was this fantasy or realistic fiction? I don’t really know how to classify it. What it definitely is is a story of friendship and family. Lana Morris is in foster care with a bunch of SNKs (special needs kids) and she hates it except for her foster father. Then one day, on a joyride, Lana goes into a house of odd and amazing things and finds an old fashioned Ladies Drawing Kit. Soon Lana realizes that whatever she draws on the paper comes true. But wishes are not always what they seem and slowly, as Lana tries to make life better for the SNKs and herself, things keep getting worse. Meanwhile, there is an intriguing side story about the next door neighbor boy.
This is a great book, but I am not really sure what it is. Not only does it have the fantasy elements, it also has very realistic elements. I liked the mixture, but wish I knew how to categorize it.
