James Is Just Like Me
James talks with his eyes?!
Meet James. He talks with his eyes and uses a wheelchair! James seems different, but is he really that different? He's smart, funny and likes to do the same things as the other kids. Maybe he's just like everyone else after all!
James Is Just Like Me introduces the reader to a nonverbal child with cerebral palsy (CP) who uses augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to communicate. James represents an often overlooked and underestimated population. In spite of his differences, James is happy, confident and resilient. He is praised for his abilities and attributes. Most importantly, he is included.
James Is Just Like Me is for... Any parent or teacher looking to educate their children/students on disabilities and inclusion. Parents and caregivers of children with cerebral palsy who would like to see their child represented in a children's book. Children with cerebral palsy who have never seen themselves represented in books, movies or other media.
