Milo and the Mustang by Alycin Hayes
Winner of Morrow Book Award "Great Kid Books for RoadTrips"
"A Children's Book With Unique Beginnings
Author, Alycin Hayes gave a little boy, named Milo Austin Olsen who has severe autism and cerebral palsy riding lessons on her Mustang horse. Milo's immediate connection with her horse inspired her to write this story. Milo now an severely challenged adult chose the final cover and illustrations used in the book. The beautiful illustrations were painted by deaf artist, Beverly Marie Melton.
The font and large print of the text were chosen to make this book easier to read for children with visual problems. The art work was designed to appeal to special needs children who identify with more realistic art. The consistent layout - with the illustrations and text in the same place on each page - feels very safe to the autistic reader who craves routine.
Children who read this adventure story identify with Milo before the find out that he has special needs. Interestingly, it turns out that children often like the story even more than many adults. This could be because the ending of the story can raise questions that may be difficult for parents to answer. The best children books don't have patronizing happy endings."
