How to Build a Hug: Temple Grandin and Her Amazing Squeeze Machine
Amy Guglielmo, Jacqueline Tourville
This biography recounts part of Temple Grandin’s childhood and the invention of her squeeze machine. As a young autistic girl, Temple did not want to be hugged. She loved hands-on activities such as folding paper kites, creating obstacle courses, and building lean-tos. She devised a machine that could give her squeezes under her own control, helping her feel calm. The book identifies Grandin as an autism advocate and includes an author’s note.
