As an Educator and parent of children with CP I was thrilled with this book. It helps my girls identify with other kids who do things they do. It is also great to share with classrooms to increase awareness and understanding with kids who don't have disabilities.
Stretching Ourselves: Kids with Cerebral Palsy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
What a fantastic book!!! I was in search of a book for my 2nd grade teacher to read in the class. My daughter has CP and is in a typical class (inclusion). Many of the children did not understand why my daughter "scribbled" or had an aide (whom they mistaken for her mother!) and the many, many questions. The teacher found this book to be so helpful that she shared it with the staff and principal. I now am purchasing a copy for the school library!!!
Stretching Ourselves

My three and a half year old has mild cerebral palsy and really enjoyed reading about other children with CP. She gets frustrated with stretching and was excited to know other kids experience the same frustrations. Her older brother liked reading the book, too. We also liked that it showed children with different degrees of CP.
