Buster
is a little garbage truck with big dreams. He loves being
a garbage truck and can't wait until he grows up so he can
work with his dad. But there's something about being a garbage
truck that Buster finds out is very scary - loud noises! When
his dad tries to teach him how to honk his horn loudly, Buster
gets scared. He gets even more scared when all of the other
garbage trucks honk their horns and rev their loud engines.
Can Buster overcome his fear of loud sounds and become a brave
garbage truck?
Being
a mother of an autistic child with sensory processing disorder,
loud noises are a big issue; they can be so intrusive to his
ears that he freezes in place with his hands over his ears,
unable to focus or think. This book hit home in so many ways
in how we can help our son with his sensitivity to sound.
We both love reading about Buster and his kitty.
The illustrations by Kevin Zimmer are adorable. Alex loved
the "motion" Zimmer managed to capture in the each
picture.
Buster
is an amazing book for any child. I recommend it for everyone.
