Alex and the Drummer - Laura Hales - Bog

Young Alex is heading to a new Korean preschool and his mother is desperate to help him get there without tears or fear.
Alex is on the Autism Spectrum and new routines are tricky and quite scary. The Mother spies a large inflatable drummer who is striking his drum to bring customers to a cell phone store. She uses this drummer as an exciting part of Alex's new routine and with the drummer's help, Alex is soon smiling on his way to school.
But one day the drummer isn't there...
Where is the Drummer? What happens when the Drummer is gone? What will Alex do without his routine?
In one beautiful story, the reader identifies with all characters- are you the mother? Alex? The Drummer? The Construction man? Enjoy watching this small yet miraculous experience from all perspectives where the compassion of one person can change a life.
