Such a sweet book about a boy just trying to find a friend who sees the world as he does.
I think this is another book we can all relate to, but especially a sensitive child like Henry who doesn’t like overstimulation and kids who’s rules are different than his. Eventually Henry finds a little girl who doesn’t like broccoli and understands he doesn’t like triangles, and together they build a tower with no triangles or broccoli, which feels perfect to both of them.

This book is one of my favorites because Henry is looking for a friend. Someone who truly cares about him. I think that's everyone's quest in life, so very relatable. But, furthermore, Henry, being on the autism spectrum, finds making friends very difficult. I love that there's a book to help children on the spectrum see that they can make friends.
