Everybody's a Somebody

This delightfully simple, yet morally profound children’s book aims to impart a timely message of social inclusion: Everybody, regardless of their differences and similarities, is deeply special and deserving of respect. The author, a researcher and cognitive scientist, systematically reinforces this message by using the latest scientifically proven mechanisms for learning how to read. These include: short and repetitive sentence structures with singular word variation; rhyming for engagement and developing phonemic awareness; utilizing opposites to develop contrast and categorization skills, and; a low-noise, predictable picture-word layout that allows young readers to easily navigate content without getting too distracted. This book is an essential addition to the libraries of astute parents and educators alike.
