Wonderful! Kids with different abilities playing together.

This beautifully photographed book celebrates the abilities of kids with disabilities. Like most other kids, they like to throw balls, play follow the leader and swing as high as they can. The color photographs accurately show wheelchairs, leg braces and most of all, the faces of kids having fun. As the aunt of a child with cerebral palsy, I am constantly searching for books for my nephew depicting other kids with physical challenges. Parents, early childhood educators, and special education professionals should search out this excellent book.
