Gary the Bear knows the world doesn't always make sense — and that's okay.
In this warm and gently illustrated picture book, Gary is a young bear on the autism spectrum who
experiences the world a little differently than his friends. Through Gary's story, children learn that
neurodiversity is something to celebrate, not fix — and that the best friendships are built on patience,
curiosity, and an open heart.
