Teach diversity and tolerance to young readers, and help them
understand and appreciate those children who have health
differences. Colorful photos show kids with disabilities enjoying
activities with their peers.
Imagine being able to hear for the first time, or see in
full-colour, or take your first steps on Earth. This incredible
book celebrates the remarkable achievements made in medical
engineering, and offers a glimpse of what the future might hold for
humanity. Pioneering technological breakthroughs have truly changed
lives. For some people, particularly those with disabilities,
recent advances have crossed the realms of the purely imaginable,
and reached a place of possibility. People with paraplegia can walk
again, those who are hearing impaired can listen to even the
faintest sounds, and some people with missing limbs can create
beautiful works of art. This phenomenal book is a celebration of
all that has been achieved so far, and a look at what might be
possible in the near future. Is it inevitable that technology will
surpass biology? From cochlear implants and pacemakers, to bionic
arms and legs, this empowering book also features spotlights on
pioneers including Paralympians Richard Whitehead and Blake Leeper,
and the world's first 'cyborg' Neil Harbisson.
This reassuring picture book explains what autism is in simple
terms, helping children with siblings or classmates with autism
understand what everyday life feels like from a child with autism's
perspective. The superb A First Look At series consists of a number
of reassuring picturebooks that give advice and promote interaction
between children, parents, and teachers on a wide variety of
personal, social and emotional issues. Notes for parents and
teachers at the back of the book provide valuable advice for how to
share this book with your child or class. Suitable for Key Stage 1
(ages 5-7), occasional prompts throughout the text give a chance to
discuss the issue being raised. Written by trained psychotherapist,
journalist and parent, and illustrated by an experienced children's
book artist, this is a part of an acclaimed and successful,
long-running series of picture-book non-fiction books for Early
Years. Books in the series give advice and promote interaction
between children, parents and teachers on a wide variety of
personal, social and emotional issues. They are excellent tools for
teachers to use during classroom discussions.
What if every young girl loved her body? Love Your Body encourages
you to admire and celebrate your body for all the amazing things it
can do (like laugh, cry, hug and feel) and to help you see that you
are so much more than your body. Bodies come in all different forms
and abilities. All these bodies are different and all these bodies
are good bodies. There is no size, ability or colour that is
perfect. What makes you different makes you, you - and you are
amazing! Love Your Body introduces the language of self-love and
self-care to help build resilience, while representing and
celebrating diverse bodies, encouraging you to appreciate your
uniqueness. This book was written for every girl, regardless of how
you view your body. All girls deserve to be equipped with the tools
to navigate an image-obsessed world. Featuring a special surprise
poster on the jacket, this book will show you that freedom is
loving your body with all its "imperfections" and being the
perfectly imperfect you!
