Overview

"Lucy wants us to understand that while her ""special needs"" make her different, she is still just like the rest of us in so many ways. Through clever rhyme and delightful illustrations, Lucy tells us: Some needs are special, they're not like the rest. They may leave a scar upon your chest. You may look different, have a tube, a scar. But all these things are not who you are. Even though she has a rare syndrome and health issues, Lucy is so much more than her physical and emotional challenges. Lucy's story is a powerful and compelling voice for children with special needs, disabilities, and illnesses. Her story encourages us to see the child first and the disability second. I Am Lucy is not only for parents and families with vulnerable children-but it is also an important lesson for all of us. Parents and teachers will value the lessons this book teaches about: Respecting others Compassion Understanding Accepting differences Lucy has Kabuki syndrome, a rare genetic disorder believed to affect 1 in 32,000 births worldwide.
