The torch

Meet Lilly. Lilly loves going out into the world, especially at Grandma's by the seaside, but having autism means she experiences the sights and sounds of new things differently.

Luckily, Lilly can always count on Myles, her assistance dog, to accompany her and help keep her calm, and when Lilly discovers a handy torch the two can explore further than ever before.'This lovely little book will help many children have some understanding of autism, which is a very complicated condition affecting a lot of children and adults in many different ways.

Lilly and Myles' adventures make a delightful introduction to the subject.

The registered charity Dogs for Good is the first organisation in the UK to offer specially trained assistance dogs to people on the spectrum.' Peter Purves, television presenter and actor.'To see the joy, calmness, and support a well-trained dog can bring to children and people with autism constantly warms my heart.' Stephen Brooker, conductor, musical supervisor, and ambassador for Dogs for Autism.
