What is typical for Thomas and his younger brother might not be typical for other families.Thomas needs special equipment that helps him move, play, and communicate. His younger brother loves spending the day with Thomas. They play outside together. They create art together. They eat together. They sing and play hockey together. All these activities are possible for Thomas because of the adaptive equipment he uses.Each page provides educational notes for parents and caregivers that name and explain the adaptive equipment Thomas needs. This encourages learning and discussion about disabilities and inclusion, and helps children develop awareness and empathy.Told from the point of view of Thomas's younger brother, this book highlights the unconditional love between siblings and aims to change the narrative of disability from meaning "cannot" to meaning "can in modified ways." With greater understanding comes greater empathy and inclusion.
