Winnie's Way - Paperback

by Alicia Stein (Author)

Meet Winnie-an imaginative and determined first grader who approaches the world in her own special way. She has hemiplegic cerebral palsy, which means she walks, learns, and plays differently from some of her classmates. But with creativity, courage, and the support of her friends and teacher, Winnie discovers how to create a path that truly works for her.

Told from the point of view of a student with a disability-and written by an author who also has hemiplegic cerebral palsy-this heartfelt early chapter book celebrates inclusion, friendship, disability awareness, and the power of doing things your own way. Readers follow Winnie through school hallways, classroom challenges, and small victories as she grows more confident in who she is.

Perfect for classrooms and families, the book includes key word definitions and guided discussion questions to help teachers, counselors, and students explore topics such as empathy, accessibility, and inclusive education. Whether used for social-emotional learning lessons, disability awareness activities, or read-aloud time, Winnie's Way encourages understanding and celebrates every learner's unique path.

A warm, empowering story for readers ages 5-9-ideal for teachers, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and anyone committed to inclusive learning.
