BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE: AVERAGE
Nathan doesn't say very much while many of his classmates have a lot to say, but his mind is always thinking. Talking is not the only way to say something. Some children use their face to let you know if they are happy, sad or want something. Others write, type, sing, point, use braille, sign language or alphabet boards, or move their body to express their selves. Some children show their inner selves by what they build, wear, draw, or paint. When Nathan goes out for recess how does he communicate with the other children?
More Than Words is a very creative and inclusive way to talk about all children's strengths and disabilities in communicating. The text is a starting place for discussion on alternative ways to communicate, and the search for connection and understanding. The illustrations are cute, colorful, and storytelling. I liked learning more about mindfulness and access to communication in MacLean's included pages at the back of the book. All ethnicities are included.
