Pedro's Whale

Written by Paula Kluth and Patrick Schwarz, Pedro's Whale is a book about fascinations. A young boy with autism is told to put away his favorite toy on the first day of school, but the teacher soon realizes that to use Pedro's whale and build a curriculum around it, not only helps Pedro learn, it also helps the whole class understand Pedro's fascination. When the students begin to share Pedro's love of whales, they also learn to embrace Pedro as a friend.
