Mary's pick is The Golden Hat, by Kate Winslet and Margret Ericsdottir.
Synopsis:
Imagine what it would be like not to be able to communicate with those we love.
For many individuals living with nonverbal autism and their families, this is
their everyday reality. The Golden Hat is an intimate response to this
reality created by Kate Winslet, Margret Ericsdottir, and her son Keli, who has
nonverbal autism.
Kate and Margret’s stories, their personal email correspondence, and
Keli’s poetry give us a profound insight into the world of those living with
autism. Kate has shared this story with some of the world’s most famous people,
posing the question: “What is important to you to express?” Their responses are
a collection of intimate self-portraits and unique quotes.
Mary says: This book tells a story about autistic kids. It shows a side of them that captures your heart. Even nonverbal kids can communicate when given a chance. A real eye opener.
