Oh, Tal! Not Like That., a new book by autistic actor Tal Anderson and award-winning Hollywood artist, Michael Richey White, is Book 2 in the Oh, Tal! series for children. Tal and the family cat, Winnie are once again taking on the world by being exactly who they are, and this time, they are doing it at school. Tal starts the school year off excited, but quickly learns that in the classroom, they like kids to follow directions, and do things the same. Tal has different ideas, however, and classmates and teachers work hard to teach and model the "right way" to do things. In the end, they all learn a valuable lesson: that there are more ways than one to get things done, and that expressing yourself authentically leads to good things. Once again, Tal wins over hearts and confirms it's okay to be different, be yourself, and to follow your own path. Read more
