A less effective story time
This children’s book, aimed at young families with and without disabilities, describes the life, positives and difficulties of six young children with various disabilities. While this book covered many disabilities and experiences, it felt that there 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. After every second page, there was a reflective question to ask yourself/the child, which can turn a harmless and fun story into an experience similar to school, which many children will find annoying and confusing, especially for some children with intellectual disabilities, as this can remove the distinction between school and home and make reading a confusing and unengaging time.
