I like that Frankie doesn’t quite fit in, I have definitely felt like that and her descriptions of saying things without thinking about them definitely sounds like me. Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). This outstanding collection, which effectively showcases the work of talented authors, illustrators and translators from around the world, is utterly captivating and cannot be recommended highly enough. I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. Unfortunately, there was one use of the word “girls” to describe Frankie and her friends late in the book, destroying that hope.
At its core, it really does have a wonderful message and I love that there's autism rep (from an autistic creator). Despite the somewhat disjointed plot, the jarring pacing, and the (for me) characters who looked too much alike, I'd recommend Frankie's World and will be adding it to my elementary library collection.So when she gets the chance to compete in a Battle of the Bands contest, Frankie couldn’t be more excited. The artwork is playful, the dialogue is perfect for preteens, and the topics raised are modern and relevant. Frankie and her family are White; diversity in health, ability, and race is woven naturally into the story. This is a fantastic book for anyone who feels different, it helps you to know that you will meet people who get you and have friends that like you for who you are. This is a great debut from Aoife Dooley, recommended for anyone aged 8+ and especially young people who've just found out they're autistic.
In general disability is treated throughout the book as an issue that has to be handled and managed.Still, when Frankie starts a karate class and discovers she quite likes it, it gives her some confidence, as does winning her class art competition. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. Polecam wszystkim, a przede wszystkim czytelnikom w wieku 8-12 lat, bo proces dorastania jest jednym z trudniejszych momentów w życiu, więc warto podpatrzeć, jak radzą sobie z nim inni. It is well-done and a welcome addition to stories of neurodiversity, and is particularly unusual in being written from a female perspective.
Frankie's World is a funny adventure for ages 8-12 about what it's like to be different, foster authentic friendships, and navigate family conflicts, like child custody and parental hospitalization. Mum is sick, school is messy and Nadine and Shauna are planning something nasty for their upcoming school trip. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! After some commando crawling (under her mum and stepdad’s bed – while he’s in it), finding another friend and meeting an old punk who tells her that being different is good, Frankie is feeling better about things.Such attitudes towards disability and disabled people are increasingly common in books by thoughtful authors. The story covers some really important topics alongside neurodiversity, including self-acceptance, what it means to be family, the importance of friendship, and treating people with kindness. Aoife has helped dozens of men and women to seek and receive a diagnosis over the last year by speaking about her own experiences. the mom and he seemed to have ended amicably, but he has no contact whatsoever with his daughter until she has to go find him. Frankie’s World’ is a charming, funny and relatable graphic novel, written by an autistic author-illustrator, about learning to accept and love who you are.
Having spent the week talking about neurodivergence in library classes, this new graphic novel is perfect to have a window into someone's life. She’s smaller than everyone else in her class and has to go to the doctor every week to be measured. This is a funny, frank, and fresh own voices graphic novel about speaking up and fitting in when you feel different.I read this to see if it would be suitable for my 10 year old, who is autistic, and I really loved it. Bardzo mi sie podobalo to ze na koncu byla definicja autyzmu,obalanie i potwierdzanie faktów oraz to ze bylo napisane czym jest prawdziwa przyjazn,kocham! When an upcoming competition in art, Frankie’s favorite school subject, focuses on the theme of your true self, Frankie wonders if she might be more similar to her absent father than the family she lives with. She carries the charm of the characters throughout the pages and it's hard not to love the colour scheme and drawings which pop off the pages.
Great Deal
