TWO HOMES Author: Claire Masurel
Publisher: Candlewick Press
Year: 2003
This is a fiction book written for families
wanted to show their children just because
they are divorced does not mean they do not
love them. It shows pictures of a child at both
homes and happy at the same time. I think I
could use this when teaching a lesson about
what is different and what is the same. The
pictures are similar but different enough that
it would help them identify the differences.
Two Homes would help children with divorce
and it is a good choice because it really
shows children how happy they can be living
with two parents in different homes.
THE LOPEZ FAMILY: SCIENCE FAIR DAY
Author: Monica Bey-Clarke and Cheril N.
Clarke
Publisher: Dodi Press
Year: 2011
This is a fictional picture book, written for
children that know someone who is gay or
their family is a gay marriage. It is designed
to help them feel comfortable in their
situation at home. I could use this book with
Spanish speaking children, and when the
science fair was approaching this would help
explain that. I think it is a good choice
because it gives me different avenues to teach
the students including science and even
though families may be different they are still
a family.
ALL CATS HAVE ASPERGER SYNDROME
Author: Kathy Hoopmann
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley
Year: 2006
This is a great fictional picture story that
could be tied into an animal lesson talking
about how their bodies move differently
than ours, along with teaching children
about Asperger's. The book gives small
details about the disability along with a
playful picture of kittens. I think it is a good
choice because it is whimsical and fun and
still educates families and other students
about the disability.
A VERY SPECIAL CRITTER
Author: Gina and Mercer Mayer
Publisher: McGraw-Hill School Division
Year: 1992
This is a prefect book to help little ones feel
excepted by others, it also helps children that
have not been around students in a wheelchair
to see them just as any other child . It is a
fictional picture book that could be used in an
respect for others lesson or how to show
feelings for children with disabilities lesson. It
also has a lot of great sight words to help the
students remember them.
A PICTURE BOOK OF HELEN KELLER
Author: David A Adler
Publisher: Holiday House
Year: 1992
This is a wonderful non-fiction book
that has been told over many years
but this one has great pictures to go
along with it. Helen Keller of course
was blind and deaf and this would
teach the children about overcoming
obstacles. Many lessons could be
built around it including respect of
others and the students could come
up with their own non-fiction
biography about themselves. I like
the story for exceptional needs class
because it really gives a wonderful
lesson to the children.
