About Bitsy Bat
A little bat struggles to fit in only to learn to celebrate differences in this “darling book for all children but especially those with autism” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about starting school, making friends, and seeing what makes each person special.
Bitsy is a little bat with big star dreams of making friends at her new school. But when she arrives, Bitsy doesn’t feel like she fits in. The other kids sit on their chairs, but sitting upright makes Bitsy dizzy. The other kids paint with their fingers, but Bitsy would rather use her toes. Everyone tells Bitsy she’s doing things wrong-wrong-wrong, so she tries harder…and ends up having a five-star meltdown.
Now Bitsy feels like a very small star and doesn’t want to go back to school. But with help from her family, Bitsy musters her courage, comes up with a new plan, and discovers that being a good friend is just one of the ways she shines bright!
I Simply Loved It
I’m not going to lie, I’m not fond of bats. At all. But Bitsy is the most adorable creature I’ve ever seen. The illustrations in this book are phenomenal. Top-notch. Enchanting. The short story packs a big punch, a very relatable one at that. I’m going to snuggle with Bitsy when I go to sleep, I love ’em that much.
