Maggie and Her Magical Imagination: An Autism Discovery Story

Author Dr Joe Denham portrays Maggie as a sensitive and loving girl with autism who spends much of her time by herself. Maggie has created her comfort zone where she imagines many adventures when she is by herself, and magically remembers all of these experiences. But Maggie is never alone because she is always with her IMAGINATION. Maggie's classmates never welcome her to play with them. They think she is different because her behavior is weird. They never try to understand Maggie's desire to be by herself in her comfort zone. This heart-warming story, MAGGIE And Her MAGICAL IMAGINATION, shows how Maggie comes to the rescue of her stage-fright classmates who have forgotten all their lines during the school play. Even though Maggie's classmates had never accepted her as friend, Maggie is determined to save them from embarrassment. She uses her IMAGINATION and magically remembers each classmate's lines from practicing every day with them. Maggie whispers all their lines to them and saves the play Maggie's classmates now realize she is awesome even though she is different. They also understand their new friend has shared with them the magical and loving gift of her IMAGINATION that is created in Maggie's comfort zone.
