ANA IS SAD

Adapted Children Book

Ana is Sad is a inclusive children's book that tells the story of a young girl named Ana who navigates her feelings of sadness. Designed with minimal text, the book relies on vivid imagery to convey emotions and expressions, making it particularly beneficial for children with autism. By focusing on facial expressions and body language, Ana is Sad helps young readers learn to identify and understand complex emotions in themselves and others. This approach fosters emotional literacy and empathy, providing a gentle and engaging tool for parents, educators, and therapists working to support the emotional development of children on the autism spectrum.

The ARASAAC pictogram system has been used to represent most of the words in the story.

These pictograms are a tool that allows the representation of both specific and abstract concepts, helping people with communication difficulties to understand more complicated concepts.
