Luke is a smart and funny boy who is missing just one thing...arms! Luckily, he has a great big brother, Ricky, to help him learn to navigate life without them-and have fun along the way.
Different, Yet Like Me: LUKE is Book Two of a children's series, designed to provide a better understanding of how illnesses, disabilities, and differences affect people. Each book tells the story of a different person, people with differences such as illnesses or disabilities.
As children read about some of the things Luke goes through with his disability they may become more comfortable around people with different looks. They may be more open and kind in talking with people who have differences, realizing that the similarities between them far outweigh the differences. Perhaps some children with differences will become more comfortable going out and start feeling more free to do the things they like.
Endorsements-
I love this book. Today, kids may be familiar with wheelchairs and sign language
but someone with no arms? Not so much. More proof we are all our own 'normal.'
I should know; I also have no arms! - Alvin Law
As a former kindergarten and preschool teacher, I appreciate this book very much.
The author presents disabilities as normal, not to be feared. She also presents
the reality that people can be hurt by being isolated because of their disabilities.
I believe it is advantageous to expose children to these issues as soon as they realize
differences so they can be accepting and caring. In addition, it is hoped that children
with disabilities may feel more confident after reading this book. - Gaye Fifer
Thanks for letting me read this! This story is great and inspirational,
and I love the jokes. - John Fox of Bookfox
