An authorised biography written for kids, about Temple Grandin's life with autism & her groundbreaking work as a scientist and designer of cruelty-free livestock facilities.
When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew she was different. Years later she was diagnosed with autism. Temple’s doctor recommended institutionalising her, but her mother believed in her. Temple went to school instead. Today, Dr. Temple Grandin, a scientist and professor of animal science at Colorado State University, is an autism advocate and her world-changing career revolutionised the livestock industry.
Sibert Medal-winning author Sy Montgomery describes how Temple overcame key disabilities through education & the support of her mother. The book includes photographs, many from Temple's personal collection.
This compelling biography and Temple's personal photos take us inside her extraordinary mind and open the door to a broader understanding of autism.
