A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month April 2024
Lily and Myles are inseparable not just because they have fun as companions but because Myles is Lily’s assistance dog which means he can keep Lily calm when things get scary or difficult.
With Myles beside her, Lily, who has autism, can explore dark caves that would otherwise frighten her or manage a soundscape that could be overwhelming.
When Lily finds a torch that she can shine in dark places she sets off to explore new places on her own. That’s exciting but she quickly finds out that she still needs Myles right by her side as well! Lily’s way of seeing the world is thoughtfully told in the story and beautifully captured in the illustrations.
Accompanied by Myles, her assistance dog, Lily sets off from Granny’s house to explore. First she walks through the garden, then she visits the seashore.
