This book is a great way to show students that we are all the same but still different. Some of us just need a little more help than others. I really like how the pictures are of real people with disabilities doing everyday things. The book also portrays and gives insight to multiple disabilities including down syndrome, blindness, spina bifida, and cerebral palsy. I also really liked how the children are happy and smiling. I feel that this will help students to understand that having a disability is not a bad thing and that these children can do anything they put their mind to. I really enjoyed reading this book. I would definitely read this book to a class to help them understand that everyone is different and special in their own way.… (plus d'informations)

Jewel is four and has cerebral palsy. She loves to water plants and look at books.She goes to school and physical and speech therapy, and she's very happy. Emiliano is three with crebral palsy and likes to play in the water and have pillow fights! Sarah is blind and loves to sing. She loves to help her dad cook--especially dessert! As you can see, these kids are perfectly normal and let nothing hold them back.… (plus d'informations)
