GOLDIBOY AND THE THREE APES Paperback

"Goldiboy and the Three Apes: An Isspeshal Fairy Tale" by Ashiish V. Patil and illustrated by Nikita Modi Biswas, is a heartwarming and modern retelling of the classic Goldilocks story, crafted to introduce children and adults to the concept of neurodiversity and autism. In this delightful version, pizzas and pastas replace porridge, and wireless headphones and iPads feature prominently, alongside Bollywood music. The book centers on Goldiboy, a teen who is "isspeshal" (a playful term for special) and, with his three friends—Papa Ape, Mama Ape, and Baby Ape—embarks on a journey to make the world a more accepting and inclusive place. This beautifully illustrated tale aims to foster awareness, understanding, and ultimately, acceptance of differences, proving that a more inclusive and "isspeshal" world is "JUST RIGHT" for everyone.
