About This Book

"An alphabet book about disabilities and other differences, informed by real children with these differences"--

Our Review

This alphabet book offers a thoughtful introduction to disability awareness and inclusion for young readers, moving beyond traditional ABCs to explore differences through real children's experiences. Each letter spotlights a specific condition or difference, from autism to using a wheelchair, presenting them as natural parts of human diversity rather than medical conditions. The approach transforms what could be abstract concepts into relatable stories and perspectives that children can genuinely understand and connect with. This disability inclusion resource makes complex topics accessible through its familiar alphabet book format while maintaining authentic representation.

What distinguishes this educational children's book is its foundation in real children's lived experiences, giving each page an authenticity that resonates with both neurotypical readers and those who see themselves reflected in its pages. The book serves as an excellent conversation starter for families and classrooms exploring disability awareness, difference acceptance, and inclusive values. Parents seeking to nurture empathy and understanding in their children will find this alphabet book provides the vocabulary and framework for meaningful discussions about diversity. This inclusive learning tool has the potential to shape how a generation perceives ability and difference from their earliest reading experiences.
