"This book is just right for a preschooler or young elementary
aged child who needs a simple introductory explanation
about disabilities and accommodations. 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."

"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."
