Just Because I Am: A Child's Book of Affirmation

Toby thinks his big sister, Clemmie, is the best! He loves her unconditionally and enthusiastically. He accepts what she can’t do (walk, talk, etc.) and raves about all the fun they have together. The fact that she has multiple disabilities is an afterthought of no great importance to Toby. The illustrations highlight the siblings’ imaginative play, incorporating Clemmie’s wheelchair. Very touching story promoting diversity and illustrating acceptance and unconditional love. (Kristin B. review from award presentation)
