Manners Matter!

Temple Grandin, as the character in the book Manners Matter, steps away from the world of adults and talks in kid-friendly language directly to kids themselves. She colorfully illustrates her experiences with stories by sharing her life growing up with autism.

This first book in the Temple Talks to Kids series focuses on manners and social niceties, which Temple considers to be the key that unlocks doors to social interaction, social acceptance, and social opportunities across our lives. Like it or not, we are judged by others by our behaviors.

Kids will delight in Temple’s familiar cowgirl style and her straight-shooting language about the importance of manners. Adults will appreciate the hard-won wisdom and advice she provides.
