A must-read that belongs in every home and classroom, A Day With No Words invites readers into the life of an Autism Family who communicates just as the child does, without spoken language.

The American Library Association Booklist starred review boasts, "The story is written from the boy's first-person perspective, however--a clever choice in that it gives readers a direct look into his mind and reinforces the book's crucial statement that nonverbal people have as many words and as much intelligence as anyone else. Cosgrove's art, throughout, does an amazing job of transporting readers into his perspective, employing various color tones, metaphoric imagery, and 'camera' angles to reflect the deep expressiveness contained in every page [...] through this book, neurotypicals' eyes will be opened, and everyone in Autistic Families will feel seen--and heard."

A Day With No Words is a colorful and engaging picture book for young readers shares what life can look like for families who use nonverbal communication, utilizing tools to embrace their unique method of "speaking."

Written by Tiffany Hammond, an autistic mother of two autistic sons and the creator behind the popular @Fidgets.and.Fries social media platform, and illustrated by Kate Cosgrove (IG @k8cosgrove), A Day With No Words successfully normalizes communication methods outside of verbal speech and provides representation of neurodiversity and autism in a way that affirms and celebrates.

Kate Cosgrove will be signing her latest book and displaying her artwork as Odd Nodd's featured artist for Arts Night Out on June 2nd, 5-8pm in-store.

Pre-order and select "Pick-Up" when checking out online to reserve the book for the event. 

Books will not be released until the June 2nd date. Any purchased books not picked up at the event will be signed and reserved for 'local pickup' after the event, or shipped if shipping is purchased during checkout.
