Julia and Rose – Best Friends Fur-Ever
When Sesame Street's Julia has an idea, she sees it through… with a little help from her family. This social storybook for autistic children models what’s possible!
This autism-friendly storybook illustrates the power of animals in autistic children’s (and all kids’!) lives. Children often have special relationships with animals. Whether it’s a family pet or a stuffed animal, furry friends can provide kids an avenue for learning new skills (like feeding and walking), while growing in self-confidence, empathy, and friendship. In this story, Julia from Sesame Street shows how much she cares about Rose by doing kind things for her. With a little help from her family, she completes important tasks and achieves her goal.
