<p>(2003 Skipping Stones Honor Award) In school, Moses, and the rest of his class are given the assignment of choosing a friend to write about. As he wonders which person to choose, he thinks of his circle of friends and what they share together. Some friends are kids like Jimmy, who says funny things, and Manuel, who races with Moses on the playground. Other friends are grown-ups like Mom and Dad, and teachers. Neighbors too, can be friends, like Kate, his teen-aged babysitter. Kate owns two really cute iguanas. One of the iguanas, Zaki, is missing toes. That's it! Moses will write about Zaki. After all, they really have something in common. Moses and Zaki both have special needs. Zaki, with her missing toes, must figure out new ways to move around and get to where she wants to go, which is exactly what Moses must do in his wheelchair! More than just a story about friendship, ALL KINDS OF FRIENDS, EVEN GREEN! looks at difference---such as being in a wheelchair or missing toes---in a unique way. With this beautifully photographed and engaging story, children discover that living with disability and facing its challenges can be seen as interesting, even positive. With an Afterword about disabilities, Moses, and iguanas, the story provides material for discussing inclusion at school and home.</p>

MY WORD BOOK is a handy, easy-to-use, low-tech tool to help children and adults with disabilities write independently. It offers pages that are preprinted with the most commonly used words in the English language, as well as ample space to record personal lists of favorite and useful words, names, and places. This simple tool enables users to write more easily when performing schoolwork such as journal writing and tasks such as composing letters, shopping lists, and to-do lists. One of the great assets of MY WORD BOOK is that word lists can be customized to reflect studies, work, and personal interests. For instance, before a new curriculum unit on transportation, a student can list the words---car, train, airplane---that will likely be encountered. Or an adult sending out holiday greetings can consult his list for the correct spellings of "Christmas" and "Thanksgiving." Additional material in the back of the book provides lists, charts, and illustrations detailing simple punctuation, days of the week, months and their abbreviations, dates, coins, clocks, counting, simple measurements, common symbols, and other useful information. Portable, flexible, and affordable, MY WORD BOOK is a great aid to visual learners such as individuals with Down syndrome and can also be used by children and adults with autism, fragile X syndrome, learning disabilities, mental retardation, and traumatic brain injury. Teachers, parents, caregivers, and employers will appreciate the adaptability of MY WORD BOOK to many tasks and the independence it fosters.
