A picture book that talks about the difficulties in entering a new classroom and finding friendship. Main character Henry has Autism Spectrum Disorder and is struggling to find a friend in the new classroom when everything seems to be going all wrong. As Henry navigates his boisterous and touchy classmates, he discovers the true celebration in finding his first friend. 

Focused on emotions
Neutral - did not make a big deal of ASD
