Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls

Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls

This picture book assists children on the autism spectrum, and any child for that matter, in examining their black-and-white thinking in order to begin to think more flexibly - rainbow thinking. Using repeated rhymes and illustrations, the child begins to recognise that the more flexible his thinking is, the better he is able to cope with the challenges that life inevitably brings, ultimately, leading to fewer tantrums and meltdowns.

Wilson Rawls grew up on a small farm in the Ozark Mountains of Oklahoma. There were no schools where he lived so his mother taught Rawls and his sisters how to read and write. He says that reading the book The Call of the Wild changed his life and gave him the notion that he would like to grow up to write a book like it. He shared his dream with his father, and his father gave him the encouraging advice, Son, a man can do anything he sets out to do, if he doesn't give up. Rawls never forgot his father's words, and went on to create two novels about his boyhood that have become modern classics.
