短片(電影1408由這本書改編)

英文內容描述：
"There's a new boy at school called Louis. Louis sits next to me and I look after him. He's not quite like the rest of us. Sometimes I wonder what he's thinking about. He often just sits and stares at the wall. If I ask him what he's looking at he says, 'Looking at' and carries on looking." This introduction to the issue of autism shows how - through imagination, kindness, and a special game of football - Louis's classmates find a way to join him in his world. Then they can include Louis in theirs.

我的書評(讀後心得):
這本書很有教育性質，讓讀者明白班上若有"身心缺陷"的同學，要如何和他相處和照顧他；其書本的主要內容是描述主角有自閉症(Autism)，主角的名字是Louis，自閉症的小孩在某些方面是有缺陷的，例如:人與人的相處、社交、甚至是最基本的交談。很多自閉症的學生會被分配到特殊班級，但他們在智力發展上並沒有太大的問題，所以部份的患有自閉症的學生也可以在普通的班級接受教育，在這個故事中，Louis就是在普通的班級，書中說明同學如何和他一起成長、一起畫畫、一起踢球等等，或許有時他會重覆老師的話或是同學的話，並不會影響課程的進度。
它的畫風很寫實，也讓我回想起國小上課的情境，值得一看再看。
