Review Quotes
"I am the lead teacher in an integrated early childhood special education classroom. In addition to typically developing preschool students, I serve children with a variety of special needs.
I have been using a variety of Finding My Way books in the classroom for the last few years. I enjoy using these books and allowing my students to see other children like themselves experiencing different situations.
These books are a great way to support diversity in early education."p>-Becky Drews, MS Special Education
Finding My Way Books: "This inspiring and compassionate series of books is based on true stories, promoting inclusion and self-determination for families and children with disabilities.
Each story is individual and personal, showing their great heart and ability to rise to their fullest potential. Photography by Mary Birdsell brings a tender touch that unites the reader with each story. Jo Meserve Mach's 36 years as an occupational therapist combined with Vera Lynne Stroup-Rentier's 25 years teaching experience in the fields of early childhood and special education brings a strong perspective of functional inclusion."
-Darleen Wohlfeil, Story Monsters, Ink.
"I feel these books about real children and real places would fit quite well in a Montessori setting. Maria Montessori suggested reading books that are reality-based for the 3-5 age group. They first need a foundation of real-life before they can begin the use their imagination."
-Cathy Brennan, Director, Discovery School
Finding My Way Books has made a very big impact on the KCPT's Martha Speaks Reading Buddies Program. I work with over 600 high needs children in the district."
