In an endearing story about an autistic boy and his steadfast furry pal. Alex is convinced that winning a trophy at the dog show will help him make a real friend at last.

Eleven-year-old Alex knows that starting middle school will be a big change, and for an autistic person, change can be terrifying. He is sure that having a friend by his side will help. But how can he make one? Alex devises a plan to impress the kids at school by winning a trophy at the PAWS Dog Show with his trusty sidekick, Kevin the Cockapoo. This should be a walk in the park, right? If only. It turns out that finding a friend is harder than Alex thought—unless, maybe, friendship is about something more than popularity.

This charming story, told through Alex’s clear and honest voice, navigates relationships of all stripes between classmates, new neighbors, family, and, of course, a kid and his dog. After all, friendship isn’t one-size-fits-all—maybe it’s found in the small things where you least expect it.

Review for All the Small Wonderful Things

This cover is just too sweet to pass up! Then the blurb hooked me.

Eleven-year-old Alex just wants a friend. He has autism and gets teased relentlessly. He fixes his sights on a popular boy and tries everything to be his friend. Until he realizes he indeed has a few friends. We were cheering as we find out all the small wonderful things truly do bless our lives. This is a sweet story featuring an open heart, hope, and authenticity.

I highly recommend it for classroom, school, and local libraries.
