Turtle
Nick Baker, Kathy Passage
eBookA child with multiple disabilities is teased by his schoolmates, but guess what happens?This is a story about hurt feelings and making friends. It is about having people not liking you, even when you can do special things, just because you are different from most other kids.Commentary from our community:Turtle is a moving story by a gifted musician sharing his struggles and triumphs growing up blind and autistic. Turtle helps the reader understand that each of us is unique and "different," yet in many ways the same—we all desire self-confidence, friendship, and acceptance. Kizzie E. Jones, author, How Dachshunds Came to Be: A Tall Tale About a Short Long DogNick Baker is exceptional. He is a talented musician, entertainer, recording artist and great storyteller! Nick journeys from isolation to inclusion within his school community with the help and advice from caring adults. Nick learns to navigate the sometimes treacherous school social environment and to use his talent to build a bridge between himself and his classmates. Phil McConnell, Exec. Director, Work Opportunities; workopportunities.orgIt has been my privilege to know Nick and work with him over the years. It is important that as individuals we embrace our differences and celebrate the unique skills and gifts. While listening to Nick perform his music, I think of Mozart and other child prodigies, how their brains are wired differently, opening up an entirely new world of creative thought, music, and expression. Dr. Dean O. Stenehjem, Supt. Washington State School for the Blind; www.wssb.wa.govThis poignant story highlights the resilience of a young boy with disabilities and the thoughtful teacher who helped other classmates recognize his gifts. A must read for anyone who believes that everyone should be included in their community!Carrie Morehouse, Director of Vocational Services at Work Opportunities and parent of a son with disabilities nickbakermusic.com
