(2) PS Let's Talk about It series. Photographs by Jim Judkis. This frank and simple book answers common questions nondisabled children have about people with disabilities and provides introductory etiquette. Engaging photos show three pairs of friends throughout, including a boy with cerebral palsy and a girl with Down syndrome. The text focuses on the children's common interests without glossing over their physical differences. This is the best introduction to the topic for preschoolers since Tricia Brown's Someone Special, Just Like You.
