Hurray for Dolly Gray!

Dolly Gray Award, Inclusivity, children's literature

Abstract

In 1986, I was a brand spanking new teacher of autistic preschoolers, and my mother gave me a book about an autistic boy who couldn’t attend his neighborhood school because no appropriate services were available where he lived. I found that disconcerting. I wondered, “Are there other children’s books teaching about inclusivity?” and “Are there any books that show kids having meltdowns, like my students do?”
