"This is such a positive story for children. It sends out the message that any child, regardless of whether or not they have disabilities, can achieve great things with determination and hard work." Review by Little Parachutes,UK
The books are written by a team of educators and professionals who have combined years of experience in working with children with special needs; they launched the series to help increase the visibility of kids with disabilities in children’s books through authentic stories. Realistic, accessible, and uplifting, these books are an important resource not only for kids who have special needs but for broader audiences of children who can learn from the protagonists’’ strengths, challenges, and achievements. All books available in English and Spanish.
