Tag! You're It: A Story on Inclusion with Gabby & Nicky

by Jannesy DeLeon

Overview

"Tag! You're it!" the voice ricochets in Gabby's ear. She longs to play, too, but can't ask to join. Gabby lives with cerebral palsy and is non-verbal. When her brother, Nicky, does the talking for her and asks for him and Gabby to join, the other kids react with skepticism. Can she really play with her disabilities?

Tag! You're It is a picture book about inclusion from debut author, Jannesy DeLeon. This story shows how a child can celebrate their abilities within their disability, find acceptance, and create awareness for those around them. A wonderful resource for both parents and teachers with children of special needs.

For fans of The Abilities In Me Series by Gemma Keir and It's OK To Be Different by Sharon Purtill.
