Look, it's me!

The story normalises the existence of disability and household accommodations, with the disabled characters and their personalities shining strongly both through text and illustration.

Each household is slightly different – one household uses Auslan to communicate; one household has a perfect-sized treehouse for a dad with dwarfism to climb into; one household has a library of books written in Braille.

What is important to note, as we visit each of these households, is that it is us, the readers, the visitors, who adapt to the disabilities of those who live there.

The end of the book lists each child of the disabled households, though occasionally it is one of the adults in the households who are disabled. Each child has a little blurb about the disability in the household and shares an insight into the personality of the child and their family members.

‘Come Over to My House’ is an excellent book to start a conversation with children about how they can interact with disabled people both in their household and out in the world.
