ReMi the boy who faces the world solo

ReMi the boy who faces the world solo is an illustrated children’s story about autism (ASD) in English, created to help young readers understand the lives of children with autism spectrum disorder and their families in a respectful, accessible and emotionally relatable way. The book offers a positive, empathetic perspective that helps normalise diversity from an early age.

The story begins at a key moment in any child’s life: the first day of school. Through the character of ReMi, readers share the experience of meeting new classmates, the teacher, an unfamiliar setting and new routines. This starting point makes it easy for children to identify with the situation and better understand the changes, emotions and sensations that can arise in new situations.

As an illustrated story, the book is a valuable teaching tool in the classroom. The illustrations spark conversation and reflection, inviting children to say what they see, what they feel and how they interpret it. This approach encourages dialogue, empathy, emotional communication and an understanding of diversity, both at school and at home.

This children’s story about autism in English is especially suitable for early years and primary, as well as for families who want to explain autism in a natural, positive way, using language children understand. Because the text is in English, it is ideal for bilingual schools or for language learning through emotional, meaningful content.

Music plays a key role as a vehicle for educational inclusion. The book highlights music as a tool for communication, emotional expression and social connection, which is especially relevant for children with ASD and their families, strengthening the link between emotional and arts education.

ReMi the boy who faces the world solo is a teaching and emotional resource that helps build a more inclusive, respectful and empathetic view of diversity, encouraging coexistence, understanding and mutual respect from the earliest stages of education.
