An empowering picture book celebrating the many ways kids learn best.
Not every child learns by sitting still and staying quiet. Some kids learn by jumping and tapping their feet. Others by building, drawing, or making a joyful mess. However they learn, all kids deserve to feel proud of and confident in themselves! This book celebrates the many brilliant and beautiful ways kids take in the world, helping them feel seen, supported, and loved.
Created by a neurodivergent author and illustrator team, with back matter to learn more about neurodivergence and simple accommodations, this is an essential reminder that there’s no one right way to learn.
I know the visible Muslim girl on the cover is "tokenism," the very point of the book is to show we learn differently and how that might look to normalize and foster acceptance through a diverse cast of children. But honestly I love, like smile from ear-to-ear, joy in my heart to see the little hijabi girl in the classroom having her own way of connecting with books, audio, alongside kids that tangibly need to touch a bead on an abacus to do math, need to look around to listen, need to have someplace quiet or need to tap and wiggle to learn. The joy and manageable accommodations make this book delightful and important. The #muslimintheillustrations make me appreciative to see the representation included.
