HARDCOVER-Brody the Lion: Sometimes I ROAR!

Brody the Lion is an award winning children’s book series that aims to entertain, educate, and empower children and families while spreading awareness and acceptance of different abilities. Each book in the series portrays how Brody embraces the joys and faces the challenges of autism with the help of his family, friends, and community.  The books are written by a Neurodivergent Clinical Psychologist who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults with special needs for over 30 years. At the end of each book there are resource pages written by Dr. Wegner and her partner Kimberly Sattler MS, BCBA. The Brody Books, teaching tips, and behavioral intervention strategies are beneficial for all children, not just those with autism.  

Sometimes I ROAR is the first book in the Brody the Lion Series. Each book celebrates autism while providing parents, teachers, and therapists ways to help children cope with big emotions. Sometimes I Roar depicts an autistic lion cub both enjoying and struggling with his birthday party. We see Brody happily flapping his paws and jumping on his toes but when his friends are late, Brody does not get the present he expects, and guests sing too loudly, Brody melts down. As he roars, Brody’s parents do their best to calm their little cub using mindfulness and co-regulation strategies.
