K-3Friends with Disabilities series.
Illustrated by
Kristin Sorra.
In each book, a child describes his or her friendship with a kid affected by the title disability. The relentlessly upbeat narrators discuss shared activities, lessons learned, and their anger at children teasing the friend. Scattered "Did you know?" boxes present facts, some vague ("Kids with ADHD are often open to new ideas"). Mixed-media digital illustrations in warm colors depict the pals. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Friends with Disabilities titles: My Friend Has ADHD, My Friend Has Autism, and My Friend Has Down Syndrome.
