“I am a homeschooler and mom of an autistic child. My son has absolutely loved the Draw Write Now books…It has been such a blessing for us this school year! We plan to keep the set, because it’s not like other homeschool materials.. .once you are done with them, you may not keep them.. this is something he can go back and read through and draw again, for fun and enjoyment. — Tabitha, parent
