Included

What is this book about?

This book introduces the reader to six wonderful kids: Sam, Rishi, Jay, Audrey, Ty and Zara.

The aim of this story is to ensure all kids understand that kids with disability are just like kids everywhere. They love playing games, books, making stuff and being silly. They have things they are good at and things they need to work on. And just like kids everywhere they want to feel safe, loved and included.

Review by Tessa

"I enjoyed the different discussion topics and that it looks at disability from a wide perspective."

A close up photo of a young woman smiling with pulled back brown hair and pale skin. She is wearing a maroon zip jacket.

Review by Matilda

"[T]here was a large emphasis on a teaching and mentoring focus, which can prove ineffective with young families and can lead to a less effective story time"

A cartoon of a white person with light orange-blush hair falling to their shoulders and blue eyes behind round, black frame glasses. they have a series of black studs in their ears and are wearing a cream and grey checkered button-up underneath a yellow T-shirt with an egg design on the right chest. they stand in front of an orange ombre background, with a sprinkling of yellow sparkles

Review by Aegon

"From this book, children can begin to form an understanding that disabled children, disabled people, have value in our community."

A hand holding trophy represented the Lego Master symbol with Letter L and M design. The trophy has a green brick base with a red brick post. L and M letters made by red and yellow colour bricks are situated on the top of the post.

Review by Ethan

"The descriptions of the kids are also realistic and true and reflect the true nature of the six kids."

Photo of Chloe, a young woman with light brown skin, shoulder-length straight brown hair, and brown eyes. She is wearing glasses, a green corduroy jacket and a stripy t-shirt. She is looking at the camera and smiling.
