Trevor has impressive skills, however it is not his strengths but rather his differences that are noticed by his classmates. This book tells the story of how Trevor's different skills are recognized by his caring and thoughtful teacher, and how she enables the other children to see things from a different perspective so that Trevor is no longer lonely and isolated.
Trevor Trevor tells the story of a young boy whose characteristics and problems in social relationships suggest a form of autism or other type of pervasive developmental disorder. It uses the form of metaphor to tell the story and is designed to be read to children by adults. It encourages young children to see things from a different perspective so that they may become more sensitive to the important roles which they play in the lives of their classmates with differences.
