 Nanette spends her time looking at paper birds, puddles, spider webs, and what she can make with her hands. At school, the kids mock her and are mean to her. Noah is a boy in her class who likes to fly paper airplanes. At first, he finds Nanette confusing. He even gets angry at her. After school, Noah sees Nanette dropping paper boats into the gutter and watching them float along. He thinks they are pretty. Noah and Nanette become friends and see the beauty of the world in their minds together. Illustrated in pastel colors with colored pencils, the story is a thoughtful, positive portrayal of neurodiverse friendships. mjw |
