Buzzings and Tickles

Irma Malatsidze’s book Buzzers and Tickles is about a young boy, who is unlike others. His name is Mathe - he goes to kindergarten like everyone else and loves sweets and toys. He has autism, however, and he sees the world a little differently.

 

Many children are not aware of autism and do not know what it is. The book is an attempt to explain what it means when a child seems to behave a little or differently.

 

The book helps children understand their peers with autism and learn about their thoughts. This will help them make friends easily. The book is intended for children aged 4 to 8, however, it may also be very useful for teachers, parents, and grandparents to understand how to support and help children with unconventional behaviour.
