Children’s book on Albert Einstein

Ibi Lepscky, Barron's Educational Series in New York. ISBN 0-8120-5464-4

Ibi Lepscky has written a book for children on Albert Einstein that has been translated by Ruth Parle Craig and illustrated by Paolo Cardoni.

The author describes the childhood of Albert Einstein and the incidents and quotations have a remarkable similarity to those of able children with Asperger’s Syndrome. The book is written for children in elementary school but it can also be used as an excellent resource to help a child understand their diagnosis.

I am grateful to Ann Macrillo of Autism Directory Services Inc for suggesting this excellent book. It should be available from www.amazon.com
