MY REVIEW OF THIS BOOK

Danny sabe leer: Danny can read (Spanish Edition) 

Written by Diana Paolo Navarro Gomez

Illustrated by Carmen Blanco

This bilingual book contains text in Spanish and English on each illustrated page. The characters are a dinosaur family consisting of siblings Lily and Danny, their parents, and a pet parrot named Poli. Lily and Danny are close. They enjoy singing, dancing, and picnicking together. One day, Danny puts the letters of the alphabet together and discovers words. He puts the words together and learns how to read.

Suddenly, his relationship with Lily changes. She becomes jealous of Danny because he spends all his time reading stories about adventures. While Lily knows her alphabet, she cannot read. Can their former close relationship be restored?

Lily possesses a talent that Danny will discover he cannot do without. The dinosaur siblings learn that differences make them stronger when they work together. This book teaches young readers that courage, kindness, and resilience lead to successful accomplishments.

The book is a wonderful resource for bilingual families and classroom teachers.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Autism: My Invisible Backpack

Written by Dalisse Sequeiros and Luis Barros

Ages: 6-12 | 87 Pages

Publisher: Loving Pieces Books (2025) | ISBN: 978-8409767816

Publisher’s Book Summary: Autism: My Invisible Backpack is a heartwarming story that follows two autistic brothers, Adrián and Guillermo, on a mountain hike. Along the way, children discover that everyone carries an invisible backpack filled with feelings and thoughts, sometimes light, sometimes too heavy to carry alone.

Through this powerful metaphor, kids explore four common challenges —masking, hyper-empathy, literal thinking, and emotional overload —while also learning that therapy can be a safe place to unpack and rest.

With simple language, hand-drawn illustrations, and practical tools, this book helps children and families:

✔️ Recognize emotional overload and name feelings
✔️ Create mask-free zones to feel safe and authentic
✔️ See therapy as a trusted space to share openly
✔️ Celebrate moments of being truly seen and valued

A supportive resource for families, educators, and therapists, this story brings comfort, connection, and real strategies to make the autism journey feel lighter.

MY REVIEW OF THIS BOOK

Inspired by their own parenting journeys, authors Dalisse Sequeiros and Luis Barros  have created a touching and practical story that opens a window into the world of a neurodivergent child. Told through the eyes of young Adrián, Autism: My Invisible Backpack follows a family hike that becomes a powerful lesson in understanding emotions and self-acceptance.

As Adrián struggles up the mountain, he learns about the “invisible backpack” we all carry—filled with our thoughts and feelings. The story gently shows how carrying too much emotional weight, or trying to “act normal,” can overwhelm a child on the spectrum. With the loving support of his parents, Adrián learns to unpack that weight and embrace his true self.

Vivid illustrations and easy-to-understand metaphors make complex emotional concepts come alive for young readers. The authors also include helpful notes and strategies for parents, offering guidance on emotional regulation, self-care, and creating safe spaces for every family member.

Autism: My Invisible Backpack is both heartwarming and practical. It is a story that encourages empathy, celebrates differences, and reminds readers that every child deserves to shine in their own way.
