The Featured Autism Books (FAB)
project provides a children's book about autism entitled
All About my Brother written and illustrated
by Sarah Peralta
to elementary school libraries or media centers for all South Carolina schools.
Special thanks to all participants who submitted artwork for the SCAS Featured Autism Book project.
Congratulations to Michelle Beal from Liberty, SC!
Michelle's work was chosen to represent this project on a poster to be distributed in April 2007, along with the book above, to the schools and media centers. The poster
will include facts about autism and a list of other recommended elementary, middle and high school books about autism spectrum disorders.
