Oh Brother

A new girl is happy she’s making friends but then catches them making fun of her younger brother, who is in a wheelchair.   This book models acceptance of differences, whether in race, gender or disability, in an engaging novel.  The book shows that children with disabilities are actually children with their own abilities and capable of many things.  The author is a speech-language pathologist and has worked with children with communication difficulties for many years. Other issues addressed in the book include starting at a new school, making friends and bullying.
