Cameron will soon be starting kindergarten and her whole family is nervous. How will they manage without her when she goes off to school? This sweet and funny story starring a young African-American girl with autism will help all kids-and their families-face the great big wonderful change that is school.

Sheletta Brundidge and her husband, Shawn, named their four kids in alphabetical order to keep them straight. (Kidding.) (Sort of.) Andrew, Brandon, Cameron, and Daniel range in age from thirteen to five. The three youngest have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, which turned Sheletta into an advocate for children with special needs and their parents. An Emmy-winning broadcaster, Sheletta hosts the Taking Authority Over Autism podcast. It can be found at SHElettaMakesMeLaugh.com, the multimedia podcast platform she founded.
