An empowering picture book celebrating the many ways kids learn best.
Not every child learns by sitting still and staying quiet. Some kids learn by jumping and tapping their feet. Others by building, drawing, or making a joyful mess. However they learn, all kids deserve to feel proud of and confident in themselves! This book celebrates the many brilliant and beautiful ways kids take in the world, helping them feel seen, supported, and loved.
Created by a neurodivergent author and illustrator team, with back matter to learn more about neurodivergence and simple accommodations, this is an essential reminder that there’s no one right way to learn.
⭐ "[N]eurodivergent team Ito Ward and Apollonova highlight classroom accommodations in this . . . open-armed portrait of differentiated learning." —Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW)
