Author Meg Raby, who makes her children's book debut with My Brother Otto, works with children on the autism spectrum, and clearly intends this tale to be used in explaining some of the behaviors exhibited by said children, that might be potentially puzzling or off-putting to other youngsters. Although I wouldn't describe the narrative here as being particularly strong, in the story department - it's too much like a list of activities, with no central incident or plot development - it is still engaging, offering a lighthearted and non-sentimental picture-book introduction to the subject of autism. The artwork from Mexican illustrator Elisa Pallmer is colorful and cute, although not really to my taste. This will be a useful book, I suspect, and is one I'd recommend to those looking for children's stories that explore autism and autistic behavior.
