This would be a great book for primary or intermediate readers
This book is about many different children with different disabilities and their encouragement for others to ask questions when they have them.
This would be a great read aloud book to encourage children to ask questions as they arise out of curiosity of others.

This book is great for all ages of students! For the younger kids you may have to read it to them but its a very educational book. It teaches kids about all different kinds of disabilities and how it makes each of the characters unique and special in an amazing way. It is very inspirational and it teaches kids to not let anything stop you from achieving your goals. I would most definitely have this in my future class.

This book is about talking about ones own personal needs or differences. It shines a positive light on how everyone is different and may need assistive technology or accommodations to succeed. I thought that this book was really well written, and could definitely be used in the classroom to teach about individual differences.

This picture book teaches readers about disabilities. It shows that each disability has different needs. I love the meaning behind this book and I believe this can be implemented in so many ways in a classroom. I would recommend this book to 1st and 2nd grade to really soak up the meaning behind this book.
