Me In Motion: Look Out, World! I Have Spina Bifida - And It's Okay! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187221622)

Meet Adam-a bright, curious boy with big dreams and an even bigger smile.

Adam has spina bifida, and he uses a wheelchair to help him explore his world. He also has a tiny tube called a shunt that helps keep him healthy. But most of all, Adam is just like other kids. He loves school, enjoys spending time with friends, works hard, and dreams about everything he wants to become.

Written in warm, reassuring language by Dr. Bill Bauer, Me in Motion helps children understand spina bifida while celebrating confidence, resilience, friendship, and inclusion. Young readers learn that every child has unique strengths-and that asking for help is one of the smartest things anyone can do.

Perfect for families, classrooms, libraries, counselors, therapists, and healthcare professionals, this encouraging story opens meaningful conversations about disability, acceptance, and believing in yourself.

Because every child deserves to know:
"I can do amazing things."
