I'm Special

Written for young children, this book focuses on three common types of disability and shows with sensitivity and gentle humour the day-to-day experiences of disabled children. Readers will identify with Mike Gordon’s humorous and inventive depictions of what life is like for those with disabilities, from getting around and doing everyday things to coping with the reactions of others. Part of a popular series intended to help children deal with their emotions, the book includes notes for parents and teachers, with suggestions of how to promote an understanding of disability through discussion and role play.
