A Day with No Words
The #1 New York Times bestselling picture book by Tiffany Hammond, the creator of the popular Fidgets and Fries platform, invites readers into the life of an Autistic family who communicate without spoken language.
Aidan doesn't talk with words. He uses a tablet, tapping buttons with pictures to show what he means.
When Mama taps “Park . . . now?” Aidan quickly taps back “Yes.” And after Aidan twirls and twirls in the grass until he can no longer stand, he taps, “All done.”
Not everyone understands their family's unique way of communicating, though. Some think that because Aidan doesn't say words, he doesn't know words. But verbal speech isn't the only way we can connect with others. We can use tablets and letter boards, facial expressions, hand gestures, and written words.
With tenderness and heart, A Day with No Words illuminates the many unique ways people can understand each other, even if they don't speak.

I read it to my 8 year old son, he's not autistic, but he has a mentally disabled with autistic traits sister older then him. I know he understood well the book as he was commenting 《 Awe 》and 《 Oh 》and seamed very moved and touch by the story. He said he liked it. I recommend.

This book is amazing. Representation matters, and this book describes a day in the life of a non-speaking boy and his mom. As the mom of a child who does not use speech to communicate, this book really means a lot to our family.
