A Boy made of Blocks

Stuart, K. (2016). A Boy made of Blocks. London:Sphere.

Dr Anne is reading the Richard and Judy selection of books for 2017.  This book rang true with Dr Anne as she has worked with autistic children in her dance context.  She was totally absorbed in Alex's dealings with his son Sam.  He had put work ahead of his family and this had consequences.  He had found it difficult to deal with his son as he did not fit the norm.  Separating from his wife and losing his job changed Alex. Through Mindcraft, Alex realised his son was a human being with a keen brain and personality.  This is a neat book giving insight into the mind of an autistic child.

Dr Anne awards 8/10.
