Maisy and Daisy Move House
is a delightful picture book that explores the universal experience of moving house for a young girl, Maisy, who is disabled and uses a wheelchair, she calls Daisy.
The debut children's picture book of author Michelle De Robillard, mother and Physiotherapist, uses inclusive rhyming text to authentically explore the young girl, Maisy, and her wheelchair, Daisy's emotions as they navigate accessibility obstacles in their new home.
"While to some, this might not be a very big deal,
when your moving on wheels, its a challenge that is real."
Featuring a gorgeous cover and bright illustrations, this is a must-read for all families.
- The perfect book to start a conversation about disability, inclusion and accessibility with parents, care-givers, teachers and children.
- Inclusive text normalizes rather than emphasizes Maisy's need to overcome accessibility barriers experienced when moving homes or going to a new house.
- The bouncy rhyming text is a joy to read out loud.
- One big step to raise inclusive children is to read books with disability representation, which can be used to promote inclusion and the need for accessibility for homes.
- For kids ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and grades K to 3.
