Oh, Tal! Not Like That., a new book by autistic actor Tal Anderson and award-winning Hollywood artist, Michael Richey White, is Book 2 in the Oh, Tal! series for children.
Tal and the family cat, Winnie are once again taking on the world, and this time, they're doing it at school. Tal starts the school year off excited, but quickly learns that in the classroom, they like kids to follow directions, and to be the same, and do things uniformly. Tal has different ideas, however, and classmates and teachers work hard to teach and model the "right way" to do things.
In the end, they all learn a valuable lesson: that there are more ways than one to get things done, and that expressing yourself authentically leads to good things. Once again, Tal wins over hearts and confirms it's okay to be different, be yourself, and to follow your own path.

My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Four Point Four Stars
While Tal works hard to learn the "right way" to follow directions and navigate classroom expectations. The story beautifully illustrates that conformity is not the only path to success. The crafted children’s book that captures the struggles and triumphs of being yourself in a structured school environment. It delivers a powerful, uplifting message about neurodiversity and the importance of self-expression.
Thank you for the e-Arc Netgalley.
