Produktbeschreibung

A beautiful book which has the potential to touch, inspire, and educate everyone."

- MS, Verified Purchaser

In Matteo Wants to See What's Next, two boys spend the day with an adult friend with disabilities, and explore the Royal Ontario Museum. Beautiful photography gives voice to a young boy's anticipation as it illustrates how speech is not the only way we communicate.

Matteo and Cristian love to spend the day with their friend Rebecca. Today, Rebecca has a surprise for them. Matteo can't wait to see it! He's on the move as they explore the museum, and the book shows all the ways Rebecca uses eye gaze to direct their inclusive visit to a museum.

Together, they examine the Biodiversity area, where they touch an owl and visit a bat cave, visit China, and explore the dinosaurs. This exploration will entice children to visit their own museums in a new way, and will show them ways to understand new types of communication. They will feel comfort as they interact with the differently abled.

By sharing Matteo's story we celebrate Rebecca's many strengths and abilities. Rebecca has cerebral palsy.<

"Love love love this book! So great to see a story that dedicates itself to demonstrating the full life of a person with significant disabilities. Love that the authors feature a young woman with a job and how she is able to teach younger children using non traditional communication methods. A true story of friendship and purpose for all of us!" - Lori A. Eigenman, Ed.S.

"This is a delightful story that will appeal to children and adults alike. Supported Decision Making is vital for individuals who don't speak and have no clear way of communicating with strangers to live a self determined life....I would like to see this book in all schools and libraries." - Susan B, Verified Reviewer

Each book in the Finding My World series can be read in any order, as each is one child's experience in finding inclusion and self-determination in the world around them.
