[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Lets Talk! a story of autism and friendship" by lisa jacovsky.]

Let's Talk! A Story of Autism and Friendship by Lisa Jacovsky is a short children's book that follows the story of Harper and her autistic friend, Emma. Harper meets Emma at the pool during the summer. At this time, Emma is new to the area, and Harper is intrigued by her presence, as she just smiles and flaps her hands. There are communication issues since Harper does not understand what Emma is trying to say. So, Harper consults her mother and gets educated about autism. Will their friendship thrive amidst this issue?

I found this book both fun and insightful, as the author had killed two birds with the stone that is this 16-page book. In a simple and clear language, Lisa Jacovsky has been able to provide elementary knowledge about autism that will aid children's and even adults' understanding of what autism entails, including the meanings of gestures by autism patients and methods of communicating with them.

Some of the pages of the book came across as wordy for a children's book; however, the author includes beautiful and colorful illustrations of every event in the book. The illustrations were done by Blueberry Illustrations and will serve to help children understand the author's message easily. The pictures of the fun activities, like swimming and gyming, that Harper and Emma enjoyed are also included. Also, employing children as the main characters will make the book even more relatable for children.

Furthermore, Let's Talk! A Story of Autism and Friendship is an exceptionally well-edited book. I did not find any punctuation or grammatical errors while reading.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Let's Talk! A Story of Autism and Friendship. Children will also stand to learn about the importance of friendship and treating each other nicely. I did not find anything to dislike about the book. Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I would recommend this piece to children between the ages of four and eight.

I like that this is a children's book on autism. There are many books on the topic for young adults and adults. However, it is a hard topic to explain to younger children. Thanks for your insightful review.

I like reading children's book that inspires friendship among children. This one is a clear example of one of them. Good job.

The book is absolutely is absolutely wonderful. I think it is a very difficult subject to explain to young children. The story makes it easier . Working with children on the spectrum myself- this story is one that should be shared with typical peers to make them aware of others differences and how we can all deal with them and help

I liked that this book discussed autism. Love your thorough review
