Why Are You Afraid To Hold My Hand (6 to 9 years)

A book about attitudes. Most people are confused about how to react to those with disabilities. Their questions, misconceptions, doubts, and fears are answered here “ simply and straight from the heart “ by a child with cerebral palsy. Sheila Dhir's willfully childlike line drawings are just as simple and powerful as the short poems. As a differently-abled child's silent dialogue with society, the book offers a sensitive and sensible way of helping children understand disability and the strengths of those who are differently-abled.
