Postcards from a Lake Monster

A wonderfully-told, full-color illustrated book about autism

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO MEET A LAKE MONSTER AND HIS MOM.

Trevor's not like most lake monsters. While he loves spending his days building mountain ranges out of the mud on the banks of Lake Eerie, he’s bad at swimming and disinterested in fishing.

Child psychologist Dr Lena Spyros has a lot of experience helping young people of all descriptions overcome struggles and, realizing Trevor’s behaviors and interests put him on the autism spectrum, Dr Spyros helps this laker and his mother Bessie find the best ways to help Trevor thrive.

With fourteen beautiful full-color drawings, readers of 7-11 years old get to wade into Trevor's life in the lake, his journey to diagnosis, then learn more about autism in the second half of the book as Trevor and Dr Spyros exchange friendly, informative postcards.

Written by author Marshall J. Moore, and illustrated by artist B. Bay, Postcards from a Lake Monster is part of Improbable Press' “Postcards” series, an imaginative  fantasy set talking about issues important to kids, and which includes Postcards from a City of Monsters, a book about childhood cancer.
