Lily likes LOUD. Eli likes quiet.
They sit in the same classroom and have the same school day, but they feel it in two very different ways. When a surprise fire drill turns Eliβs world into a storm of noise and flashing lights, Lily thinks he is just being silly. Then she learns what is really happening inside her autistic classmate, and the two find a way to be friends that feels just right for both of them.
Each key page shows the same moment two ways: what Lily sees on the outside, and what Eli feels on the inside. Young readers discover why an autistic child might cover their ears, look at the floor while listening, or flap their hands when they are happy.
