Mimi is a poignant story about a young koala who is unlike any other. She communicates differently, plays differently, and thinks differently. As she grows from a young joey into an adolescent, she struggles to build bonds with her peers and faces many tribulations along the way. At her side, throughout, are her loving parents, who are tasked with trying to understand her, foster her familial relations and unlock her unique potential. Written by a parent of an autistic child, Mimi is a tale of struggles and breakthroughs, of exclusion and recognition, and of fears and hope. Both educational and entertaining, Mimi hopes to break the stereotype of the protagonist of children's stories by giving centre stage to a character who is special and remarkable in her own way. The book is suitable for children aged 6-12. It can be used as a guide to teach children about autism as well as how to develop a friendship with a child who has it. Some of the examples and techniques described in the book have been taken from real life experiences of the writer and can be adopted by parents, teachers and professionals as part of their teaching or therapy programme.
