[LM_NET] picture book for disabled boy

[Kimberly Manser <kmanser@OCEANPORT.K12.NJ.US>]

A parent has contacted me regarding her son who is in 4th grade and 
has severe autism. His father just had a stroke and has been in the 
hospital for the past week.  The child is very distraught and does 
not understand where his father is or why he has not come home.  The 
mother is looking for a picture book to read to him that would help 
explain the situation to him.  It needs to be very directive, simple, 
and visual as the boy just began speaking last year.  Does anyone 
have any recommendations?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
