ā "A strong addition from a neurodivergent author and illustrator that will resonate with many children and families" - School Library Journal, starred review
Come along with Roscoe & Ivy as Roscoe transitions to a new pair of shoes!
Roscoe really, really loves his puppy shoes. They're so soft! So comfy! So... PERFECT! When his puppy shoes get to be too small, it's time for a new pair of dinosaur shoes. Dinosaur shoes?! Those shoes are different, and new things can be scary. It's a good thing Roscoe's gentle big sister Ivy knows how to help him get used to his new shoes.
- Roscoe & Ivy series focuses on the daily life of a neurodivergent family
- Created by neurodivergent author and illustrator drawing from their own lived experiences
- Endnotes offer gentle guidance on introducing kids to new things

About the Author
Eleni Tassopoulos Wehner discovered that typical caregiving strategies did not work for her neurodivergent family. With some creativity, patience and adjusted expectations, she developed methods that any child or caregiver can use. Eleni lives in St. Louis, MO with her husband and their kids. She loves bunnies, thrift stores, and glitter gel pens.
Danamarie Hosler is an autistic illustrator, fiber artist, and muralist based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Her work is based around the idea that art should be accessible to all people, in all forms, and she considers her work to be equal parts art, education, and advocacy. In those rare moments when she's not making art, you can find her perfecting her macarons and croissants, or bird watching.
