The sequel to Leo the Late Bloomer, this story introduces Little Louie, Leo's baby brother. Louie is an irrepressible, irresistible little tiger - his only problem is that he can't do anything right, so Leo has to learn patience and acceptance.
I am the mother of a child with special needs and this book has a beautiful way of explaining what it is like to be different from typical children. I highly recommend it to anyone who knows a child with special needs. I am buying several copies to give to family members and friends to help offer perspctive on what my son's life is like. It is a precious story.
leo and louie are just like my children

The first time I read this book I started to cry. It touched my heart so deeply. Louie doesn't play like other little kids, or speak either. This has his big brother Leo(from the first book, Little Leo the Late Bloomer)very concerned. Leo decides he will help his little brother how to play, write, and speak. To no avail. Soon Leo finds that Louie just does things differently from the norm. I have an autistic daughter with a big sister who is alway thinking of her little sister. This book is cute, warm and endearing. The illustrations are wonderfully alive. If I had enough money I'd buy this book for every big brother and sister with a special needs sibling.
