As an autistic person who is a musician, I’m so thrilled to see Trevor take flight using music… In this book parents, teachers, and classmates are reminded that they can help trapped songbirds fly. Trevor found the strength to overcome, and many others can too with the right support.’ - Troy Krombholz, Professional Musician and Award Winning Author”
