When Charley Met Emma
By Amy Webb, illustrated by Merrilee Liddiard
Reading level: Youngest readers
When Charley goes to the playground and sees Emma, a girl with limb differences who gets around in a wheelchair, he doesn’t know how to react at first. But after he and Emma start talking, he learns that different isn’t bad, sad, or strange–different is just different, and different is great!
This delightful book will help kids think about disability, kindness, and how to behave when they meet someone who is different from them.
Challenge: Ask someone about something that makes them unique — and share something unique about yourself too.
