Bitsy Bat, Team Star
From Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor–winning author-illustrator Kaz Windness comes a delightful sequel to BITSY BAT, SCHOOL STAR, which Kirkus called a “darling book for all children but especially those with autism” (Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW), in which Bitsy meets a new nonspeaking student at school and learns the importance of being a star teammate and friend.
Bitsy Bat, Team Star sees Bitsy meeting a new nonspeaking student at school and learning the importance of being a star teammate and friend. This heartwarming tale is a sequel to the “darling” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) Bitsy Bat, School Star from Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor–winning author-illustrator Kaz Windness.
Bitsy Bat is a star student and the only fantastic flier at Crittercrawl Elementary…until a new nonspeaking student named Enzo Owl arrives and outflies her during recess. Bitsy worries her friends won’t think she’s special anymore, so she’s determined to beat Enzo in the upcoming Critter Games and prove she’s the better flier.
But when her friend Mo needs help during the race, Bitsy must choose between winning and being a star teammate. And while she’s at it, she just might discover that making a new friend is more special than any trophy.
This sequel to Bitsy Bat, School Star is told from an autistic perspective and celebrates how our differences make each of us shine brightly on our own and as part of a team.
