Ready Eddie Go is a heartwarming series of children's books by author Nikki Saunders, designed to guide young readers through day-to-day experiences that may feel challenging for an autistic child. Each story offers gentle, supportive strategies to help children navigate these situations—benefitting all young readers in the process.
From new adventures like Eddie's First Haircut to everyday events like The Birthday Party and Painting, the books feature clear structures and engaging visuals that make it easier for readers to understand Eddie’s journey and discover helpful strategies for their own similar experiences.
