1 1 y separately published work icon Waiting for Hugo Amanda Niland , Claire Richards (illustrator), Kew East : Windy Hollow , 2013 Z1935640 2013 single work picture book children's

'Waiting for Hugo by Amanda Niland is a book that explores notions of diversity and difference through a story suitable for 3 to 7 year olds. The central character is a young boy who has an obsessive interest which dominates his life and that of his family. This is a trait often present in children who have an Autism Spectrum Disorder. The story is narrated by Hugo’s older sibling, who grapples with acceptance of her brother’s eccentricity. Hugo’s obsession and consequent skill with numbers brings rewards for him and his sister, so that the story ends positively, celebrating Hugo’s unique abilities.' (Publication summary)
