A Gem of a Book

I had the good fortune of reading this book when it was first published and still consider it one of the best children's books ever on understanding disabilities and the people who have them.This is a picture book, a children's book and a guidebook for parents, all in one. The story focuses on the building of a friendship between two young boys, one with and one without a disability. I actually purchased several copies of "About Handicaps" and shared them with friends and neighbors. Later, when I became a Disability Awareness Specialist, I used this book in an awareness program for third graders to help them become more understanding of their classmates who had a disability. This is a book that will educate your head and touch your heart. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
