Lauren is a bit apprehensive about visiting her aunt's farm in North Dakota, especially as her aunt is getting married and Lauren's been tasked with being the flower girl. Also, Lauren sees her noisy cousins for the first time in years and learns several things about the wedding aren't what she was expecting them to be -- which can be particularly challenging for Lauren, who is on the autism spectrum.

This was a charming book that introduces kids to what life is like for someone on the autistic spectrum, or validates their own feelings as someone who has autism. In addition, being a part of a family member's wedding party is something that happens to a lot of young children so this is good for them to read about as well.

The short, plainly worded chapters make for a quick read and the accompanying illustrations are delightful. It's worth noting that pains are taken to show the expressions on the faces of the characters, which is helpful in reading emotions. ( )
