This was the FIRST children’s book by these two authors. Now in its tenth year and second edition, Temple Did It and I Can Too! is still helping to guide and inspire kids to reach their full potential.
Winner of a 2015 Academic’s Choice Award, this book explains the obstacles Dr. Temple Grandin faced while growing up, the rules she followed to overcome them, and her path to becoming a leading animal scientist and a world-famous advocate for those with autism.
This colorful book even includes worksheets for kids to identify and reach their goals!
"This lovely book will inspire a can-do spirit in every child and adult!" Carol Stock Kranowitz, author, The Out of Sync Child -- Carol Kranowitz
"Temple Grandin is an inspiration to people with autism, their families and people working with them. The 7 rules for success are brilliant and apply to everyone!" Paula Aquilla, BSc OT, author, Building Bridges through Sensory Integration and The Sensory Detective Curriculum — Paula Aquilla
"Most of the children I treat who are on the spectrum lack sufficient self-confidence to fully participate in life. The book TEMPLE DID IT, and I AND TOO! helps the child, the parent, and the therapist think through new ways to build this confidence." Diane Bahr, MS, CCC-SLP, author, Nobody Ever Told Me That!: Everything from Bottles and Breathing to Healthy Speech Development -- Diane Bahr
"What a great book! Temple’s simple life rules can lead to fulfillment and achievement. She is a pathfinder and others can follow the same path to success." — Tony Attwood, PhD, author, The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
"Temple Did it, I Can Too" is a perfect book for a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) class or even language arts class. After her short biography, she offers 7 tenets for children to follow. I particularly liked page 13. It gave an example of the kind of thinking kids should really develop. She synthesizes two passions and (bugs and math) comes up with a career that a child can strive for. A classroom teacher could easily turn this into a child-centered classroom activity that would really engage the child as well as offer the opportunity for the child to become empowered to be a professional at something (as well as write about it) they love at such a young age. Well done, Temple. You are a hero to both children with academic challenges as well as students with emotional and physical challenges. This is a very empowering book for young children. — Academic's Choice Award review See more at: http://www.academicschoice.com/books/temple-did-it.php#sthash.tzh2yuzC.dpuf
