It's characters experience varied limitations and are represented by culturally diverse people in the neighborhood. The book is short, matter of fact, colorful and to the point." --Laurie Zelinger, PhD,author of Please Explain Anxiety to Me "Perception of a disability is life-shaping for those who are 'differently able'. it is imperative that they have assistive devices to help them lead normal lives and be perceived as 'normal'. i.e. differently able. Your book shows people living their normal lives with assistive devices which is the way it should be Thanks for your great contribution to the positive perception of people who are differently abled." --N.Siddiq, B.Sc., M.D., CBC freelance broadcast journalist "This book is a great resource for parents, teachers and other childhood educators to help teach children about living with a disability. It offers important lessons in tolerance, compassion and dignity." --Mary Lynne Stewart, Director of Fund Development and Communications, March of Dimes Canada For more info see www.JewelKats.com From the Growing With Love Series at Loving Healing Press www.LovingHealing.com Juvenile Fiction : Social Issues - Special Needs Education : Special Education - Physical Disabilities
