Why read it?
2 authors picked Howie Helps Himself as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What my nephew loved about this book was that Howie describes all the ways he could help himself despite his Cerebral Palsy. He also loves the fact that the character of Howie represents that his aunt with cerebral palsy can do things just like him, but in a different way.
When I look back at my journey, I feel that this book was the beginning of my survival guide in a world that wasn't made for me. It lets readers with disabilities, such as myself, realize that it's OK to do things in society in a different way. This is because it's not your disability that defines who you are. We provided me with the proper written representation I needed. Reading about how he helps himself really boosts the self-esteem of children with disabilities, especially cerebral palsy.
From Tylia's list on overcoming challenges and obstacles of cerebral palsy.
