This Is How We Play

Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the unique ways your family connects or when your child is noticing that parents move, play, and navigate the world differently. While some books focus on the challenges of disability, this story centers on the abundant joy, creativity, and love present in families where a parent has a physical disability. It reframes 'accommodation' as 'imagination,' showing how various families adapt play to fit their specific needs. This is a beautiful choice for children aged 3 to 7, providing vital representation for kids with disabled parents and fostering deep empathy in those without. It validates that while a parent's body might work differently, their capacity for fun and connection is limitless. Parents will appreciate how it normalizes diverse experiences without being overly clinical or sentimental.
