With Two She Flew

by Catherine Bodega

Overview

Three girls in a nest.

Two girls with "inside eyes."

One chance to get them home.

When Daisy--Bird Girl--opens her eyes, she sees the world filled with saints and angels and feelings too big to sort inside her own head. Her friends--both birds and humans--help her stay calm and safe. That is, until Daisy discovers a hidden nest of refugee girls in a secret room at church. When everyone's safety is threatened by two men whose presence makes the angels flash with fire, Daisy will need all of her friends and her autism to help her new friends reunite with their family.

About the Author

Editorial Reviews

"The story centers Daisy's perceptions, her experiences, her way of interacting with the world. An autistic child reading the story will have the opportunity, perhaps for the first time, to identify with a character who is kind and strong and sometimes utterly overwhelmed by the intensity of her senses and of her emotions." -Charlotte Riggle, Author of Catherine's Pascha and The St. Nicholas Day Snow

"Daisy's story is not just a children's book, or a book for parents with autistic children. The way Daisy shares her world with the reader is a great insight to any educator or Sunday School volunteer or church member that wants to help the church be more inclusive. As a practicing Orthodox Christian, a mother and an educator, I highly recommend this book." -Cornelia Oprea, reviewer

"For readers who are not autistic or who do not have the gift of an autistic family member, Bodega is a worthy translator, allowing each reader a believable immersion into Daisy's experience. Daisy's knowledge of the scriptures and the Church's theology, as well as her familiarity with the lives of the saints buoy the reader, encouraging them to look at the earthly world in a heavenly way." -Orthodox Christian Parenting
