Michelle Reads My Brother Charlie
My Brother Charlie is a book about a boy with autism, as told through the eyes of his twin sister. This book helps us recognize that we are all unique, with our own strengths and weaknesses.
Discussion Questions:
1. In the story, how do you know that Charlie is different?
2. Can you name three things Charlie does well?
3. What does the author mean when she talks about “Charlie’s Blessings”?
4. When the author says “Charlie has autism, but autism doesn’t have Charlie”, what does she mean?
Activity: Draw a picture of a friend or family member and write or tell at least one “blessing” about that person.
