My son is disabled (ASD and ADHD). Julia's books have enthralled him him since he was one year old. "The Smeeds and the Smoos" have captivated him even more than "Room on the Broom." We've been able to discuss "Rome and Juliet" and so many great things with him based upon your books! He's a super reader at eight years old, just finishing "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH."
