This Is How We Talk: A Celebration of Disability and Connection

48 pp. | Dial | July, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9780593529935 $18.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kayla Harren. Rather clunky rhyming couplets describe the many ways people with disabilities communicate, such as American Sign Language, assistive devices, and stimming. The digital art captures a variety of children and adults using these methods and tools; the message of acceptance and compassion in both text and art is clear. Back matter includes notes for kids (about celebrating difference) and for grownups (about precision in language) as well as short descriptions of the communication forms and disabilities represented.
