Written by mother daughter duo, Sheena and Monroe Edwards, Get to know Monroe takes you on a poetic journey through a day in the life of five-year-old Monroe. You’ll find out all her favorite things and what makes her so special. Monroe and I wrote Get to know Monroe to introduce Monroe and children like her to others. With hope that parents, and teachers would use our book as a tool to teach children about autism. I’m no expert, I am just a mother looking to encourage others to show genuine compassion and empathy for children with special needs. Autism currently effects 1 n 68 children in the United States and one of them is Monroe. My prayer is that the world is prepared

Sometimes being different is a good thing
