The first autism-friendly children’s book will be launched at Hamleys in Regent 
Street on Saturday 6 May.
The launch event is being held in aid of the National 
Autistic Society (NAS) which has working with HIT Entertainment, who own the rights
to the Thomas and Friends brand, and book publisher Egmont UK Ltd. to produce an
innovative book inspired by children living with autism.

The book, titled ‘How do You feel Thomas?’ and featuring Thomas the Tank Engine 
and Friends, is an original novelty book about facial expressions and emotions.

HIT Entertainment will donate 30 pence from the sale of each book directly to the
NAS, which hopes to raise £5000 from the partnership.
