A great book about how his feet can be "fixed" and also to help the children understand we have different disabilities. ( )

This book is a small illustration book about a child with a disability, whose family doesn't let him feel that he is not disabled but they keep it under secret and he has braces to hold his body from falling.

The cute little book with illustrations shows the struggle of parenthood for specially abled children. How difficult it's for them about the knowledge of disabled child and what future it hold for the child ( )

What an inspirational story Kip’s is! It should shame many of us for complaining about minor inconveniences or pains. Kip is not even two, and he has had surgery, countless therapy appointments of varying types, and he must wear braces from his knees to his toes to be able to walk. Yet he is a happy, sunshiny boy zipping around the house. Kip’s mother wrote the book to encourage empathy and inclusiveness in young children. Children can be so mean in their misinterpretation and discomfort when they meet someone different than they are. If they discover that Kip thinks he is unique and not someone to avoid or make fun of, it is a remarkable way to break the ice and help other children understand his differences. This book holds the promise of shaping a more empathetic and inclusive future, and I am deeply moved by the intent behind it. Lezanne Bianchina’s illustrations add much to the book. Kip’s emotions are very apparent in the pictures.

Caveat: I received an e-book as an early reviewer.
A charming true story about a young boy who needs orthotics to walk, and is learning to make his way in the world. ( )
