"I like . . . play today!" Josiah exclaims.

Josiah is a ten-year-old boy who loves to play! Whether he's swinging at the playground, flying kites in the meadow, or splashing around at the waterpark, Josiah finds the fun in every day. Sometimes, other kids don't understand that he plays a little differently than they do. But with kindness and an open heart, Josiah shows his new friends how they can all play together.

With reflection questions and inviting illustrations, Josiah Loves to Play is an exploration of accepting others' differences. Writing from her published research and her personal experience as a mother to a neurodivergent son, author Camille Bryant hopes to encourage readers of all ages to become more empathic and more compassionate so that, together, they can create a kinder world for everyone.
