Differently Daphne
DIFFERENTLY DAPHNE

There’s more than one way to get the job done, right? However, many children often want to do things exactly like their friends, but sometimes that is not possible, especially for children with a physical disability. But who said one way is the only way?!
In this fun rhyming, yet inspirational, story, Daphne Daniels discovers that having Brachial Plexus Palsy (Erb’s Palsy) limits her in a way that makes her different from her classmates. Though she is initially discouraged, her confidence blossoms in a particular silly relay race when she is reminded that she is just as capable as anyone else, even if she has to do it differently!
This beautifully illustrated book, highlighting the beauty of diversity and acceptance, is perfect for children who need to be reminded that they are enough and that they should never give up!
Great gift for teachers, physical therapists, and parents of children with diverse abilities!

WHAT ARE READERS SAYING?
"Speaks to my special education heart. The content was beautiful! Love that it is accessible and readable for my students with dyslexia and other learning challenges."
Ms. Deloatch
Special Education Elementary Teacher

"Being an educator I’ve probably read 1,000 books, and this is a book that is well developed! I like that it has a poetic flow and it didn’t feel like it was rhyming for the sake of rhyming…it still added to the story. Though the story is about Daphne, I love the message of empathy and sensitivity that was illustrated through the other characters, which can be teachable to other children reading the book. Great diversity and representation!"
Ms. Harris
Elementary School Principal

"As a mom of two kids with a disability, one of which has Erb’s Palsy, this story brought me to tears. I was able to identify with it because I see my child doing the same things. He also finds ways to do things differently. My son is also autistic and I can see how this can be great for children with autism as well. It was wonderful. I hope there will be a part 2!"
