Bitsy Bat, Snow Star by Kaz Windness is about a young bat experiencing her first snowy day.
Bitsy wakes up to discover that it has snowed. It is the first time she has ever experienced snow, and she is excited to go to school and enjoy some winter activities with her friends. However, when she tries the different activities, she realizes that she isn't enjoying them as much as she expected. Instead of admitting how she feels, she tries to pretend that she is having fun. Bitsy eventually returns to the classroom, where she finds that some of the other students are inside too. After talking with them, she comes up with an indoor activity that she can enjoy with her friends while also giving her a chance to express her feelings.
I thought the book was a cute and fun read. It was beautifully illustrated with fun, bold drawings, and the story was sweet and easy to follow. I also like that the author provides additional resources and discussion points for young readers and their parents. While the story is told from an autistic perspective, I think it's a great read for all children. It teaches empathy and shows that our differences are what make us unique. I also loved the diversity included in the book.
