Meet Logan – an extraordinary kid with a BIG secret!

A Boy Named Penguin is a book that features a main character on the spectrum of Autism. The book aims to spread knowledge & acceptance and encourage children to embrace their differences that make them who they are.

Book Summary:
This is a very special book dedicated to raising awareness and acceptance of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other disabilities. The idea of this book came from my son, who is on the autism spectrum. Often, when he became scared or nervous, he would start calling himself a penguin. As time went on, he started to wear a cape and solve “mysteries” with his stuffed animals. Every time someone would meet him, he would say “Hi, my name is Logan, but you can call me “Penguin”. Recognizing the empowerment he felt as his alter ego “Penguin,” I felt his story needed to be told to encourage other “penguins” and super hero kids to embrace their differences and to share these unique gifts.
The book encourages children to embrace their differences, whether that includes Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Dyslexia, Hard of Hearing, or any other disabilities that may be visible or not. The back of the book includes a quiz to create a dialogue with kids that will help them learn ways they can become more independent. You can read this book to your favorite “penguin,” or they can read it out loud to you. This book was made to be read over and over again — because everyone loves penguins!

Super Penguin saves the day again by stopping bullying in its tracks! Bullying is the number one issue that children face in schools today, and children who are victims of bullying often don’t want to go to school because of this.

A Boy Named Penguin: The Mystery of the Albino Calf is meant to educate all children on the importance of respect, tolerance, and understanding despite how a person looks or behaves. Read along with Logan as he utilizes his Super Penguin secret identity to help an albino calf named Blanco overcome bullying while teaching everyone that the differences between us are what make the world SUPER!

Super Penguin saves the day with the help of Frog Fetcher Girl!

Different is the New Perfect features a character who uses a wheelchair. The book shows that everyone’s differences make them unique and wonderful in their own way, and that these unique qualities should be celebrated and accepted.

Book Summary:
Logan goes to school, where he and his friend, Austin, have a disagreement. They accidentally knock over the cages and containers in their class zoo, releasing frogs and butterflies into the classroom and down the hallway. With very little time to spare before class starts, Logan and his friends must work together to put things right before their teacher, Mrs. McG, discovers anything is amiss. While Austin refuses to help, Logan and his friend, Andrea, use their special gifts and secret super powers to round up the critters escaping their classroom. With the help of Frog Fetcher Girl and Super Penguin, the day is saved and a lesson is learned: people that are different are perfect in their own way.
In this book, children learn that not everyone looks the same; some people may have a different skin color, some may use a wheelchair or other medical devices, or some may just dress a little different. Every child is special and amazing in their own way, and they should be celebrated no matter what their differences are.

Teaching these habits early on is the best way to make sure every child is on the course for a great future. This powerful book was made to be read over and over again.
