Jalen, a five-year-old boy with autism, sees the world a little differently from his friends. Labeled with this disorder of autism, Jalen has to learn how to handle his differences at the young age of five! But what Jalen learns is that we are all different—and that’s what makes the world around us great!

Jalen Goes to School reminds us that God has a plan for all of us regardless of our situation and the differences among us. We all have similarities, yet our differences are what make us truly shine.
