About This Book

This story aims to ensure all kids understand that kids with disability are just like kids everywhere. They love playing games, books, making stuff and being silly. And just like kids everywhere they want to feel safe, loved and included.

Our Review

This gentle picture book introduces young readers to children with various disabilities through simple, relatable scenarios that show everyday activities and emotions. The narrative emphasizes how all children share common interests like playing games, reading books, creating things, and enjoying laughter. With clear, accessible language, it teaches fundamental concepts about inclusion and empathy, showing that differences in ability don't change universal childhood experiences. The story consistently reinforces that every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and accepted for who they are.

What makes this book particularly valuable is its focus on commonalities rather than differences, making disability awareness approachable for preschoolers and early elementary students. The straightforward message helps build foundational social-emotional skills by encouraging kindness and understanding toward peers. Families and educators seeking to foster inclusive attitudes will find it an excellent conversation starter about diversity and respect. This thoughtful approach to disability representation ultimately cultivates a more compassionate classroom or home environment where every child feels they belong.
