Excuse Me, Audrey

The perfect story for little ones with lots of questions about starting school or nursery!

Pepper the Dragon and her best friend Audrey love spending time together and playing in just the way they like. So on their first day of school, when everyone around them is doing things a little differently, Pepper has lots of questions.

From lining up to sharing with classmates, quiet story time to LOUD play time, how will she know if she's doing it right?

But with some help and reassurance from confident little Audrey, Pepper learns to feel comfortable doing things in their own way . . . and soon they both discover there’s fun to be had and friends to be made when trying new things too!

With a confident autistic protagonist at its heart, this is a warm and reassuring picture book from debut author-illustrator Cat McGlade, about friendship, change and navigating new and different ways of doing things.
