This is my favourite new picturebook! Gina Kaminsk

This is my favourite new picturebook!
Gina Kaminski saves the Wolf.
A lesson in fixing mistakes before they become a huge problem, and about being prepared!
The author is #autistic, and he's written Gina herself as an autistic child, navigating her way through life in her own way. The clever use of emotion icons to show how she feels about aspects of her day means there's no need for too many words (which can be hard if you're overwhelmed).
Gina is resourceful and logical, solving the biggest mistakes of Little Red Riding Hood.
