Fast Friends (Amis instantanés)

In this appealing, energetic picture book, two kids with different challenges and strengths find they are just what the other needs to navigate classroom life. Tyson does everything fast — so fast he often disrupts the class. His teacher is always saying, “Too fast, Tyson!” And often he ends up playing all alone. Suze, the new girl, is nonverbal with special needs. Sometimes her classmates don’t know what those needs are. But Tyson understands. Taking the time to interpret her cues, Tyson forms a friendship with Suze, and teaches his classmates what it means to listen and understand others.
