Overview

In a world full of words, brothers Liam and Noah often feel alone. Other children find it hard to understand them, and leave them out of their games. Instead, Liam and Noah explore the forest, where they discover a secret glade. The boys find some enchanted instruments hidden in an ancient oak tree. There's a flute that summons an excited flock of birds, a joyful harp that brings out the sunshine, and a violin that attracts a sleepy, green-eyed cat. When they learn that the glade is in danger of destruction, Liam and Noah try to defend it. Which instruments will help them voice their feelings? Will any more magical creatures appear? And can the two brothers really stop the diggers? The Enchanted Instruments is a magical storybook with a moving message. Following two brothers with nonverbal autism, it presents their struggles in a fairytale fashion: making them easy for a young audience to understand. Children with autism will identify with aspects of the story, and be delighted to encounter characters like themselves. Children without a diagnosis will grow empathy for those who have a different experience of the world. But the story's theme is never heavy-handed, with plenty of laughs among the learning. Readers will be delighted by the magical setting, memorable descriptions and colorful characters. This humorous and heartfelt tale is essential for every family bookshelf.
