Where’s Wormy? Lol This book sounds wonderful! I love books that encourage young readers to see life from a different perspective. There’s a lot to learn from characters with disabilities, and helping kids understand how to treat all people with dignity and respect is so important.

Helix is actually very happy and has a supportive, loving family. It is good to see that he enjoys his life. Thanks for stopping by!

It was so fun looking for that little green worm! :D It was the break I needed. I’m going to request this book at my local library—it will be a great addition. Thanks for stopping by.

This sounds like an incredibly heartwarming turtle tale! It's sweet to think that the main character is actually based on a real live turtle with a spinal disorder and tiny wheels. Conditions like cerebral palsy affect so many sweet children, and small kids willing to read books like this will find themselves both educated and entertained. Thank you for such a lovely review!

What an amazing way to open children's eyes to the abilities of people with disabilities. Wormy makes the book even more captivating. And your review is quite enticing!

A book with every aspect geared towards children will impress its audience. Thanks for the review.
We're all philosophers. When there's a tough choice to be made, when faced with the facts of birth,love or death or simply when thinking about what we want to do with our lives.

Sometimes children’s books are geared more to the parents than the child—and often with good reason—but this book is perfect for the young reader. Thanks for stopping by!

This is a must read for children for sure! I love how it teaches children how to love and accept those with a disability. As someone with spastic deplegia cerebral palsy, this book in a way hits home for me. I wish there would've been more books like these out there when I was little.

Thanks for such a great review!

I would love to have this book for my daughter. I think it's important for her to learn that there are a lot of different people in the world. Teaching humanity is a valuable lesson.
