some saving of his own to do.
Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me features a diverse group of
children, celebrates each child's unique strengths, and promotes
inclusion, acceptance and friendship. Wonderfully Different,
Wonderfully Me is the first book written by Becky Zingale. Becky's
husband, Duane, and their younger daughter have the same syndrome
as the main character in the book and movie Wonder. Becky wanted to
a similar book for a younger audience. She looked for children's
books with pictures of children who have facial differences and
wear Bone Anchored Hearing Aids. Unable to find any such books,
Becky's husband Duane, encouraged her to create the solution, by
writing children's books to share the stories of their family and
friends. Becky wanted not only her own daughter, but all children,
to see themselves in Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me whether
they connect with a character's personal challenges, physical
appearance, or personality. If you are a parent, teacher, or
medical professional assisting a child who has special needs, or
feels a bit different, Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me will
inspire your child on their journey.

DIARIES. 'Fresh, funny and ultra cool' - Jacqueline Wilson Hi! I'm
Edie Eckhart. I'm a little bit different. I have a disability
called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a lot. It's
never really bothered me because I've never known anything else.
This term, Edie Eckhart has A LOT on her mind: 'Why am I the only
one who doesn't know what to be when I grow up? Why am I the only
one worried about going on the school drama trip? And why am I the
only one who thinks eating 21 Brussels sprouts at once is YUMMY?'
Life's confusing questions are making Edie wonder if she REALLY
knows who she REALLY is. Will Edie realise it's OK not to have ALL
the answers ALL of the time ... and just BE EDIE?

and Freddie tends to mumble, which means the wishes aren't turning
out as planned! Whatever can they do? Luckily the Fairy Queen is on
hand to help.
