Loading... You Are Enough: A Book About Inclusionby Margaret O'Hair, Sofia Sanchez
   Youth: Diversity (33) No current Talk conversations about this book.  juliasmith22 | Feb 21, 2024 |    ) LibrarianRyan | Sep 21, 2023 | KaraRW | Jul 25, 2023 | TUCC | Aug 2, 2022 | The illustrations in this book are beautiful, with a bright palette, and showcase children with a variety of abilities and disabilities from different racial backgrounds. The general message about letting your unique self shine and not caring if other people stare is good, but the book is basically 100 percent cheery. I think that's okay for young children on the whole, but I do know some disability advocates and disabled people get frustrated by media that feels overly saccharine in its inspiration and calls for cheerfulness in situations that don't always warrant in it. Backmatter includes more information about the story's inspiration and about Down syndrome generally. (  ) sweetiegherkin | Apr 15, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
