Look Up! by Jin-Ho Jung
There was a girl in a wheelchair, she sat on her balcony and looked down at people that were passing by. She thought that they looked like ants because were so small down there. She said look up but no one did. Until one day a boy finally looked up at her. He told her to come down there because she could not see well, she could only see the tops of their heads. Then the boy laid down on the ground, someone asked what he was doing and he said he was laying so that the girl could see him. That person laid down, and more and more people started coming and laying down next to them. Everyone was looking up at the girl on her balcony and it made her very happy.… (more)
A girl in a wheelchair watches the world on her balcony and yells for the passerby to look up!
From her balcony, a girl in a wheelchair beckons passersby to “look up.” Eventually, a boy waves and others follow. Jin-Ho’s nearly wordless picture book eloquently prompts readers to consider the importance of acknowledgement, inclusion, and perspective.
This book was mostly all pictures and gives a brief depiction of a girl in a wheel chair sitting on her balcony and calling out to passerby's below to "Look up!" many ignore her, she is very lonely. A boy notices her and lays down on the walkway, others join him and pose fancifully for her to view. This makes her feel happier and less lonely. Simplistic, but effective. Not really much of a teaching tool about exceptionalities, but a teaching tool that could be used to demonstrate kindness.
