Customer Reviews

Very good book more in the series

It is a wonderful book to help kids and even adults to understand that just because someone is a special needs kid. They want to be treated the same as others and how it is better to be careful what you call someone. Not just special needs children but anyone they meet. Mr. Rogers wrote a book about disabilities to. I think both would be good to have in classrooms and libraries.
