About the Book
French Fries Please is the first book available for parents of children who are diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder that struggle with diet and nutrition.
Autistic Spectrum is a range of disorders that are associated with delays in imagination, communication and social interaction.
Children who have this disorder are often very sensitive to food textures and smells and as a result, many of them have very limited food preferences.
This story is based on a seven year old boy named Andre who only likes to eat French Fries. It takes a humorous approach to the daily challenges he and his mom face.
Andre’s mom tries diligently to help her son expand his food choices; while Andre tries to convince his mom that French Fries are all he needs.
This book is beautifully illustrated and its rhythmic words will not only capture the attention of children, but will warm the hearts of anyone who reads it.
