Meet Sophie - a girl with cerebral palsy (CP). Sophie invites
readers to learn about CP from her perspective, helping them to
understand what it is like to use a wheelchair to move around and
assistive technology to communicate. She also introduces readers to
some of her friends who have different forms of CP and explains
that living with CP can sometimes be difficult, but there are many
ways she is supported so that she can lead a full and happy life.
This illustrated book is ideal for young people aged 7 upwards, as
well as parents, friends, teachers and professionals working with
children with CP. It is also an excellent starting point for family
and classroom discussions.
Gathering the artistic talents of Asperkids and artists from around
the world, as well as her own original artwork, Jennifer O'Toole
has created a one-of-a-kind coloring book that's educational, fun
and above all a celebration of difference! We all know that
children with Asperger syndrome are far more likely to learn and
enjoy themselves when their special interests are involved, and the
color-in drawings in this book cover a wide range of subjects that
Aspies love. We're talking mythology, atomic structures, nature,
historical fashions, and more! Full of cool art, geeky humor, and
inspirational quotations, this is a coloring book for all ages that
celebrates the unapologetic awesomeness of Asperkids. A proportion
of the proceeds will go towards supporting arts programs for
children on the autism spectrum.
