Charley's mother has taught him that being different isn't bad. He understands that when he applies it to himself but he has a bit of a hard time when he meets his first handicapped person...
Beaming Books sent me a copy of this book to read for review (thank you). It is being published today.
Emma has two different legs, one longer than the other and no hands. The first thing he says is that she's weird but his mother talks to him about how he's learned being different is OK and tells him that's rude. He apologizes to Emma, who did get her feelings hurt and they play together at the park. She does things differently but she still does a lot of activities he likes. It doesn't take long for a wonderful friendship to build.
Here's a good way to teach your young one about a good life skill. Handicapped people have feelings, too.
I'm Jo Ann Hakola, The Book Faerie, bookworm and bookseller. I have been selling books since January of 2000. It's a homebased business and I sell online only.
