Children question things that are different. That includes people and it includes people who have physical disabilities. If your child has asked questions about someone with a disability you realize how difficult an answer can be. In Good Answers to Tough Questions About Physical Disabilities, Joy Berry tackles the tough questions and comes up with answers that show both sensitivity and insight. In this book children learn important lessons about physical disabilities and more important how someone with a disability would want to be treated.

The combination of cartoons and text makes this book something your child will both enjoy and find very helpful.
