Evan & Me, A Story of Autism and Love is a heartwarming narrative of a young girl’s devoted love for her autistic twin brother, despite challenges and differences, revealing the true nature of this developmental disorder and more importantly, the power of unconditional love.
Inspired by and based on her own family, author Mary Karsten Hebrank originally created the book as a school presentation for her children's classmates and teachers. With Lily as our guide, Evan & Me unlocks the key to an autistic child’s world and answers many questions children have about this disorder.
Brilliantly illustrated by Kat Parrish, Evan & Me captures the dynamics of autism from the outside looking in, and the inside looking out.
Today 1 in every 110 children is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and Mary is committed to raising awareness and fostering understanding, especially for children. To that end, she is donating a portion of proceeds from Evan & Me, A Story of Autism and Love to benefit the national organization, Autism Speaks.
