Reviews
“There is a lack of books that truly demonstrate what it is like to have a disability, really we are just the same as everyone else!!! A small book with a huge message that should be read by all! This book is changing the boundaries in the best way possible.”
– Chloe Tear, Life as a Cerebral Palsy Student (BLOG)
A very easy to read & informative book highlighting TJ’s life with his family & friends & how he would love people to treat him & interact with him too…

disabilities. We hope to have Amanda back again this fall with her newest book.

Great book
What a wonderful book. Working for 20 or more years with children with disabilities, this book speaks volumes….
Please tell us more… your words speak for so many children… well done Amanda. Tadhg is a pleasure….
A beautiful description of a beautiful boy. It clearly shows that we are all the same and all have need to give love and be loved no matter how we visually present to the world.
Beautiful book about a boy with disabilities at the end of the day we are all the same… Beautiful understanding words.. Great author.. this is real..
I am a disabled author and always appreciate when books are written that educate as well and entertain. I love that C.J.’s story is about an ordinary child who just happens to use a wheelchair. The author illustrates C.J.’s abilities and celebrates his childhood. We need more books with disabled main characters.
Wonderful book for diversity
Great, inspiring book
Great introduction to literature for kids.
Really lovely way of sharing TJ’s experience with other children at a level they can relate to and empathise with.
