Laurent, c'est moi!(Hey, That's Me!)

Summary

Lawrence is a boy who knows a lot about plants, excels at mathematics and loves to call a spade a spade. But his classmates sometimes give him a hard time because of his odd behaviour. Will the class trip to the botanical gardens at the end of the year help them to see Lawrence in a different light?

This picture book delves with honesty and understanding into the daily challenges of life for a boy with autism.
