About this title

About the Author:

Rebecca Rissman is a Heinemann-Raintree author.

From Booklist:

In the dramatic action photo on the front cover, a skier speeds down a snowy slope on only one leg; on the back cover a toddler pedals a wheelchair bicycle; and the focus of this small, square photo-essay in the Disabilities and Differences series is to show that disabilities do not set people apart as strange and special. For each big, clear color photo there is a very simple caption. With “Some people run,” the photo shows a young man running on two prostheses. A family walks holding hands together, and one boy is using a cane. Women race in wheelchairs. Boys with special needs line up to play ball in a gym (“People move to play”). The multicultural cast of many ages shows and tells the message about connections, and parents and teachers will welcome the suggestions at the back for using the scenarios to talk with preschoolers––and not only the disabled––about respecting differences and having fun in many ways. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Hazel Rochman
