We were recently contacted by an author with book signings slated for Maine later this month. Good luck, Greg. We plan to stop by your Freeport signing. With resistance from Curtis I'm sure. Because he's never been to a book signing that I remember. So naturally, he won't want to do it. He is quite familiar with chicken finger meals, however.

I am writing to tell you about a new children's picture book on autism awareness that just came out this spring. The book won the MeeGenius Publishing People's Choice Grand Prize award and was published by them after 6 weeks of the country voting on it against 400 other manuscripts.

I wrote this superhero with autism based on my godson. I spend every Wednesday night with him at his favorite restaurant (where he always eats chicken fingers) and came up with Chicken Boy: The Amazing Adventures of a Super Hero with Autism. The book is told through the child's point of view to teach others not to fear someone who may be a little different from them.

I have been traveling to different schools in New Jersey (where I live) reading and talking about the book and will be in Maine later in June. Here is a link about the book offered in both print and digital format:

I'll be signing copies of my books at the following Maine locations:

Sat, June 23 Bath Book Shop 11 am-1 pm Bath, ME

Sun, June 24 Tugboat Inn 12-1:30 pm Boothbay Harbor, ME

Mon, June 25 Freeport Community Library 7-8:30 pm Freeport, ME

All kids are superheroes...but those living with autism hold a special place in my heart.
