The first time I read this book I started to cry. It touched my heart so deeply. Louie doesn't play like other little kids, or speak either. This has his big brother Leo(from the first book, Little Leo the Late Bloomer)very concerned. Leo decides he will help his little brother how to play, write, and speak. To no avail. Soon Leo finds that Louie just does things differently from the norm. I have an autistic daughter with a big sister who is alway thinking of her little sister. This book is cute, warm and endearing. The illustrations are wonderfully alive. If I had enough money I'd buy this book for every big brother and sister with a special needs sibling.

I am the mother of a child with special needs and this book has a beautiful way of explaining what it is like to be different from typical children. I highly recommend it to anyone who knows a child with special needs. I am buying several copies to give to family members and friends to help offer perspctive on what my son's life is like. It is a precious story.

My child checked this book out from the library at school. When it was time to bring it back she cried and cried, so I let her keep it for one more week. The next week the same thing so we finally bought it (could only find it on Amazon and we looked ALL over!)

She loves this book! She is 5 and is not able to "read" herself yet. She loves that she can guess what the words say because of the wonderful illustration and simple pages. It is a book that is read at least 3 times a week for the last year. The interaction between the siblings is sweet and uplifting. Her only other sister is 12 so it hits home with kids that can't do what the older kids do, and to the older kids that are slowed down by the younger ones. It lets kids know, in a simple way that is easy for young 'uns to understand, that all kids will eventually be able to do the same things that the older ones can do.... some are just later "bloomers". Wonderful book and now we are going to get the prequel about when the older brother was young called "leo the late bloomer". Hope this helped!
