Buy Grammie's Suitcase
Greyson's ShoesGreyson is an autistic preschooler who views the world through a very different lens. He gets into a 'sticky' situation with his dad because, although he loves playing outside, he doesn't like to have his shoes on. His dad doesn't want him to step in something gross, but Greyson doesn't understand this. His dad, in a moment of frustration, tapes his shoes on. Oh no! Greyson gets mad and takes off his hat and shirt, but dad responds by taping those on too. When they end up getting stuck to one another, dad realizes how silly his reactions are. Dad and son share a good laugh and a special warm moment.
