A little bat struggles to fit in but ends up celebrating her differences in this charming book for all children, especially those with autism (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) by author and illustrator Kaz Windness, winner of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award. Bitsy Bat: School Star is a book about going to school, making friends, and seeing what is unique and special in every person. Bitsy is a little bat who dreams of making friends at her new school. But when she arrives, Bitsy feels like she doesn't fit in. The other kids sit in their chairs, but Bitsy gets dizzy sitting upright. The other kids paint with their fingers, but Bitsy prefers to use her toes. Everyone tells Bitsy she's doing things wrong, wrong, wrong. Bitsy tries hard to do things better? and ends up having a five-star meltdown. Now Bitsy feels like a very small star and doesn't want to go back to school. But with help from her family, Bitsy finds courage, comes up with a new plan, and discovers that being a good friend is just one of the many things that make her shine. The book includes a page with more information about autism, making it an especially helpful resource for all children.

The only bat at her new school, Bitsy does not feel like she fits in, but after some encouragement, Bitsy learns that everyone shines differently.
