Like many kids on the autism spectrum, Charlie finds solace and empowerment in pools, ponds, sprinklers, visiting the aquarium, and swimming in the ocean. Through his adventures and discoveries, he shows the world that even though he has autism, autism doesn’t have him. It is a beautiful ode to the love between siblings Callie and Charlie, while showing readers that kids who may experience the world in different ways can help us see the wonders of swimming to your own rhythm. CHARLIE MAKES A SPLASH, co-authored by Holly Robinson Peete and her son, RJ Peete, is a companion to the award-winning book MY BROTHER CHARLIE. With the same cast of characters bringing whimsy to everyday fun for all children, the Peetes co-wrote these books to help share awareness about autism with other children who have been touched by it.
