Final Project: Summary of Learning

Summary of Learning:

The three books I chose are all picture books about disabilities. These books are all what I consider quality literature for children of all ages. All of the books I chose portray disabilities in a positive way encouraging discussion and questions after reading the books. These books share what a day in the life is like with the specific disability. All these books share the many things that disabled people can do rather than what they cannot do. The first book I chose is called Someone Special Just Like You written by Tricia Brown. The book shares photographs of children with all different types of disabilities playing and having fun. The second book I chose was We’ll Paint the Octopus Red written by Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen. This book is perfect for teaching a family about Down syndrome, especially if a member of that family has Down syndrome. The last book I chose was Looking Out for Sarah written by Glenna Lang. This book shares a story about a day in the life of a guide dog and his owner. All three of these books show excellence in portraying disabilities and constitute as great pieces of literature to inform children and adults disabilities.
