Gr 1–4—Bailey and Song have created a goes-his-own-way hero in Henry, resistant to conventional paths to

Premise/plot: Do you know Henry? Henry has starred in a picture book and another early chapter book. You can read about Henry in A Friend for Henry and Henry, Like Always.

Henry has autism but he is portrayed as an everyday kid with likes, dislikes, and a penchant for needing things just so. He finds a way to resolve his discomfort with an unscheduled class parade by offering a trade with a classmate: to lead the parade in a fancy hat while the other boy happily plays the too-noisy tambourine.
