A-Jacks and The Champs Learn About Table Manners

A-Jacks is a neurodiverse kid who sometimes has trouble remembering the rules in social settings. Fortunately, he’s got his champions and best friends, The Champs, to remind him of the right way to interact in these situations. The Champs know that A-Jacks doesn’t break the rules to be bad, he just needs someone to tell him and show him how to tackle these tasks with poise and tact.

The first book in the series, A-Jacks and The Champs Learn About Table Manners, is a 30-page full color easy reader paperback where A-Jacks just wants to slurp up his spaghetti as fast as possible, but the Champs remind him to use his table manners… and his fork!
