The school is looking for photos / posters that reflect diversity in families. E.g. images that show different kinds of families : families with adopted children, multi-racial families, same-sex parent families, etc.

Exquisitely detailed, realistically portrayed hands of different ages, sexes, and colors demonstrate the positions for the manual alphabet used in American Sign; an object with the appropriate initial appears with each--the pointing finger for ``I'' reaches toward a dripping icicle; ``T'' sports three thimbles and a fistful of thread; ``X'' appears on an X-ray. An elegant roman capital completes each beautifully designed color- pencil illustration.

We Can Do It! is very well produced, with full color photographs on every page. Supported by a series of brief captions, ideal because they contribute to the positive images being established. The photographs offer glimpses into the lives of five children, all of whom have disabilities. These are incredibly uplifting, doggedly showing young children as active participants, contributing positively to the world around them.

My Friend Isabelle is a wonderful little book that teaches about difference and acceptance with simplicity and grace. Isabelle and Charlie are friends. They are the same age, but like most friends, they are different: Charlie is tall and knows "a lot of words," and Isabelle is short and sometimes her words are, "hard to understand." The sweet simplicity of their relationship is a reminder to everyone that "differences are what make the world so great."
