Book-Talk : Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen!
Major-league pitcher VJ Capello has been Vivy Cohen’s hero ever since he showed her his grip for the knuckleball at a social event for people on the autism spectrum and their families. Vivy writes a letter to VJ to satisfy the requirements of her social-skills class and, after Vivy sends him several letters, VJ actually writes back! The author, Sarah Kapit brings her lived experience as an autistic individual to craft Vivy as a believable character. In 2021, Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen! was an Honor Book for the Schneider Family Book Award.
