Like many kids her age, Carolyn loves animals, castles, and building with blocks.\u003cbr\u003e She is helpful to her mom and dad and even to her baby brother.\u003cbr\u003e Carolyn started a new school this year.\u003cbr\u003e She thinks her teacher seems nice and she is getting to know her classmates.\u003cbr\u003e The other students are curious about Carolyn because she uses a wheelchair. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carolyn is a happy, energetic, caring first-grader who just happens to be in a wheelchair.

Encourage your children to smile and say hello. If you are a parent or caregiver, reach out to the parent of the child who uses a wheelchair and suggest a play date. Talk to your child about their reluctance. Help them put their worries into words. It can be easier to address specific worries or questions, like we did above, than an unspecified reluctance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you are reading this book because your child has teased or made fun of a classmate with a disability, remind them that all children have feelings and that their classmate feels hurt just like your child would if someone teased them. Model kindness toward people with disabilities. Demonstrate making eye contact with and saying hello to people in wheelchairs. With some basic information, and adjusting games and activities so that a peer with a disability can participate, young children can easily learn to make accommodations for peers with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you are fortunate enough to guide children in this process, they may surprise you with their motivation and creativity. The experience of working together to solve problems of playing with one another can allow a child in a wheelchair to feel included and provide a learning experience in empathy for classmates.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Magination Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433828690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2018 pg. 101\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kendra J.
