This sensitive, hopeful and inclusive, wonderfully illustrated children's book by Georgette Kores shows kids and normalizes the different tools that people might use to live and experience basic human things that we all share regardless of level of ability. There isn't just one way of using our senses and functional abilities. Disability is part of life, and there are so many ways people's lives can be enriched by utilizing various accommodative and adaptability tools available today. Life is always better when we can share and embrace the myriad ways people can have their human experience.
Parents not exposed to disability can teach their children ages 2-6, and also become more comfortable themselves with seeing adaptive devices in various settings. Parents of kids with disabilities will find comfort and hope seeing their children represented in this book, and children living with disabilities will be uplifted to see themselves as part of everyday life.
Georgette Kores lives, works, and plays with her husband and two amazing boys in South Florida. Her oldest son has a rare genetic condition, Coffin Siris Syndrome, ARID1B-related disorder, which, among other conditions, makes life look a little different. This book was inspired by two things: the conversations and teaching moments she gets to share with her youngest son about the differences and similarities between people with all levels of abilities, as well as the "I can" statements we encourage our oldest son with highlighting all the things he can do, even if he does some of them differently or with help. As a parent of an atypically-developing child and a typically-developing child, Georgette believes she got the best of both worlds. When she was looking for a children's book that she could share with her typically-developing son and their friends that would normalize disability, she couldn't find one. So she decided to write it herself. She hopes her book inspires hope, inclusion, and great conversations between adults and children with all levels of abilities.
