Children's picture books with
stories about special needs children are a wonderful addition to any
school or home library. Teaching children to respect those who are
not like them will help them grow and be passionate, empathetic and
open their minds to friendship, no matter what the circumstances.
Suhana is a little girl with
cerebral palsy, which makes it difficult for her to move or speak.
She expresses moods by making different sounds. Suhana has a friend.
Her friend talks to her and draws pictures with beautiful colors just
for her. Suhana does not answer her friend when she calls her and
they have never had a play date, but for one hour each week she is
held and rocked. Suhana's friend imagines that Suhana can walk and
play and hopes that someday she will.
This heartfelt story shares what it
would be like to have a friend with cerebral palsy. Parents, teachers
and young readers will appreciate the stories purpose and enjoy the
colorful illustrations depicting the moods of Suhana and the love and
caring she receives from her friend. This story comes from the
experiences of co-author 10 year old Aanyah Abdullah who has worked
as a volunteer for children with disabilities at her local community
center. Both authors have done an excellent job of educating us on
how to be role models by opening our minds and hearts to the
possibilities. Author Shaila Abdullah has books that have been
adopted by various colleges and universities.
Thanks for a great review, Kristi
