Amazing video! I had never heard of "Moses goes to a Concert". I'm American and my husband is Deaf. This book would be perfect to introduce to my young nieces. Thank you for sharing!!
Good video! I have a 4 and a 6 yo nephew, and though they are not sensory impaired, these sound like good stories to help expose them for when they do meet other kids who are. The little one might relate, though, because he has had surgery to improve his hearing (was nearly deaf in one ear due to fluid), and has to go to speech therapy because all the years of not hearing properly affected his speech.
There should denfitly be more disabled children in children's books. Sometimes a disabled child just wants a book about them to show that they are being considered and represented.
I am a special education teacher who currently works in an elementary school in an instructional self contained classroom. However, I've worked with kids of all ages and disabilities, as well as adults. I'm actually in the beginning process of writing a children's book series about specific disabilities and how people with a specific disability can live functional lives in our society. I love advocating for kids with special needs, and I think God is leading me to write these books to help others.
I love that I got all the way to the end of this video before I heard you talk about your own disability and I hadn't really even wondered what it might be! Thanks for explaining the terms inclusive and immersive literature. I'm studying to become an early childhood teacher.
Just found your channel and love it. My son is profoundly disabled and we make videos about our everyday family life, the challenges we face and our adventures. Looking forward to following your channel 🤗
I wish I knew you were working on this video! I'm a visually impaired author/illustrator! I just published a picture book called Can I See? About a little boy who is visually impaired. Throughout the book, he learns how he is different from other kids and learns to embrace these differences. It's currently not available in Braille now. If you have any tips for Braille publishing, I'd love to hear it!
I am currently querying a picture book on disability and came across this in my research. I immediately noticed your eyes and thought you had to have the same condition as my husband, nystagmus. I went to your blog to see, and I was right! I'm going to try and read up on your blog as I would love to see some of the ways you cope and if any of those ways would help my husband whose eyesight has only gotten worse over the years. This video was great and gave me a fresh perspective on inclusive writing as, let's face it, my husband doesn't read, nor does he feel the need to be included. I guess part of that is because it's congenital and just about half his family has it, so he feels pretty inclusive already ;)
Hi I love this video. My child has got autism and I have now the opportunity to read books for the community. So your video has definitely helped me just that I don’t get any of the books online. There are many Dr Seuss but these books are not there. I’ll give it a deeper search. If you know more books do let us know. Thanks again!!! Love you!
I'm going to keep these books in mind when it's time to get books for my future classroom (I'm studying special education at the elementary school level).

Have you come across Jewel Katz? She was a lovely lady who was disabled and wrote books for the disabled. Sadly she passed away recently.
I haven't, but I'm going to look her up :)
I'm gonna try and use some of these in my classroom.
Thanks a lot for sharing such an insightful explanations of both school of thoughts along with some great picture books.
I'm going to keep these books in mind when it's time to get books for my future classroom (I'm studying special education at the elementary school level).
Thats great! I hope they help :)
Thanks so much for sharing this video!!!!! I work in a special needs college and this group of books would be great in our library!
There needs to be a book on mental health issues. I have bipolar disorder and most people don't know it and don't understand.
I agree, mental Heath conditions are hugely unrepresented in picture books
I love your video!! There's nothing like it online. Thank you for your insight. Inspiring
