Description

Review

"A great book for children and families both. In a family with a working farm, this true story demonstrates how each person has a job to do and everyone is needed for success. Teachers can use this with their classroom to help show that everyone has strengths and can participate. Families may benefit by thinking about how their child with a disability can actively participate in everyday activities in their home. Beautiful!"-Lori Eigenman, Ed.S.

Review

“I feel these books about real children and real places would fit quite well in a Montessori setting. Children first need a foundation of real life before they can begin to use their imagination.” —Cathy Brennan, Director of Discovery School
