Look, it's me!

A girl called Claire, who is in a wheelchair, starts at a new school which she is frightened to go to. When she arrives, the kids are being rude to Claire for being disabled. Tia is also getting bullied at this school because she wears glasses. Claire and Tia become good friends quickly and soon learn to love their differences.

The book’s message is about antibullying, learning to love your differences as that makes you unique, and accepting other people as they are.

My favourite part in the story is when Tia invites Claire to sit with her, as it is the beginning of a new friendship.

The character’s personalities were very cartoonish, this didn’t really matter though as the story line was very good and had a very important message to share for young children.

Tia is my favourite character because she is the one who initiated the friendship and welcomed Claire into the classroom and the school environment.

I liked the illustrations throughout the book. They are very cartoonish and cute but matched the story well.

I enjoyed reading the book itself, but I could pick up on some grammatical errors that could very easily be fixed.

It is a great book to teach children about inclusion, diversity, and friendship. 

I think the best suited audience would be from year one to year four/early reader levels at school.

I feel this would be a useful book to educate children how people feel when they are being left out. I know that many young children feel intrigued by people with visible disabilities but do not know how to interact with them. 

This book breaks down this barrier and shows how children with disabilities are no different to children without disabilities when it comes to wanting to form friendships, and working together in a classroom, school and group environment.

A great light-hearted and enjoyable educational resource for children, families and educators with or without lived experience of disability.
