Tristan loves swimming in the waves, building sandcastles, and playing by the sea with his little sister, Lauren. But his big brother Owen experiences the world differently—he has autism, and that means loud sounds, big crowds, and changes can feel overwhelming.
When another child at the beach questions Owen’s behavior, Tristan bravely stands up for his brother and learns that kindness means understanding, patience, and love.
 
Tristan’s Kind Act gently introduces young readers to autism through the lens of sibling love, helping children appreciate and embrace differences in others. It’s a touching story about standing up, staying kind, and celebrating every child’s unique way of being.
In this heartfelt and encouraging story, children will explore what real joy looks like: not just being happy when things go right, but finding strength, love, and light even when they don’t.
 
Perfect for readers ages 4 to 7, this story supports social-emotional learning, sibling understanding, and offers gentle awareness about living with Type 1 Diabetes.
