Greyson's Shoes

Greyson is a preschooler with Autism who views the world through a very different lens. He loves playing outside, but he hates having his shoes on. His dad wants to make sure he doesn't step in something gross, but Greyson doesn't understand this, and keeps taking his shoes off. His dad, in a moment of frustration, tapes the shoes on. Oh no! Greyson gets mad and takes off his hat and shirt, but dad responds by taping those on too. Dad finally realizes how silly his reactions are. Dad and son share a good laugh and a special warm moment.

About the Author
Elliott, Beverley A.: - About the Author
Children have always been the focus of my personal and professional life. In my early years, I was a pediatric nurse, then pursued a career in Medicine as a Primary Care and Consulting Pediatrician, initially in Burlington, Ont. and then Roswell, NM until I retired and returned to Canada. My heart and soul went into providing the best possible care to infants and children of all ages. Some days brought extreme challenges, some brought heartache and sadness, but mostly there was fun and laughter in the day to day interactions with my charming patients and dedicated staff. Now, through writing for young children, I hope to have a positive impact on early learning and loving to read. Words and illustrations can captivate, stimulate, and entertain endlessly, and it is to this end that I begin my new journey.
