It’s a challenge building a costume that includes his wheelchair and it is very AWESOME. Step by step he shares their story and the ups and downs it takes until finally, he has his amazing costume ready for his school parade.By sharing Reese’s story, we celebrate Reese’s many strengths and abilities.

I love how it also highlights Reese’s supportive family!'- Becky Drews, MS.Ed Special Education 'Reese’s story is one that embraces what true love is all about. It shows how a loving family and a whole lot of creativity can turn a challenge into a real-life blessing. Can’t wait to hear Reese use his voice to share his story as he grows older!' - LN Verified purchaser'I had a few kids in our sports club read this book- ages 6 to 12-- and all enjoyed this story. (this rarely happens). The story had them thinking creatively about their own abilities and how to make things that might be seen as a detriment into an asset. It also reframed some of their assumptions and misconceptions about other people. A great social and emotional learning selection for the lower through middle grades.' -Nicole Miller Sheehan, Educator 3
