8 year-old Obioma is a football star. She uses a special stick to
score goals and never loses a race in her wheelchair! But when she
moves to a new city, she has to go to a new school where she has no
friends, and everyone calls her "the girl with the wheelchair".
Obioma misses playing football most of all, until one day a girl
named Ayana asks her to race. Once they start playing football,
everyone joins in and Obioma finds a new team to play with!
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.

Three starred reviews called Small Things "monumental" (Booklist),
"superb" (School Library Journal) and "intense" (Foreword Reviews).
In this short, wordless graphic picture book, a young boy feels
alone with his anxiety. He isn't fitting in well at school. His
grades are slipping. He's even lashing out at those who love him.
Talented Australian artist Mel Tregonning created Small Things in
the final year of her life. In her emotionally rich illustrations,
the boy's worries manifest as tiny beings that crowd around him
constantly, overwhelming him and even gnawing away at his very
self. The striking imagery is all the more powerful when,
overcoming his isolation at last, the boy discovers that the tiny
demons of worry surround everyone, even those who seem to have it
all together. This short but hard-hitting wordless graphic picture
book gets to the heart of childhood anxiety and opens the way for
dialogue about acceptance, vulnerability, and the universal
experience of worry.

struggling in school, so Jenna reaches out to him-anonymously-to
