Give Chance a Brake — a 'We Are All Different' book
Mrs. Gordon, the same teacher who brought you How Covid Changed Us, Meet Joe, and I Am Au-Some partnered with other staff and students at her school to participate in this special project that celebrates a Chesley District Community School student with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. With input from guardians, teachers, and educational assistants, Give Chance a Brake is an educational tool for families and classrooms everywhere.
Also available through Amazon - [PAPERBACK] or [KINDLE]
Mrs. Gordon’s third grade students are so lucky to share their classroom with Chance, a boy who was born with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
They are learning that everyone is different in their own way, and sometimes, our differences can look like having ‘leaky brakes’.
Just like a car has brakes to stop, children have brakes in their brains to help them stop certain behaviours. When a child’s brakes are leaky, they may have a hard time stopping some of these behaviours.
Mrs. Gordon’s students are learning how to recognize children with ‘leaky brakes’ and how to support them within an inclusive classroom.
Peek inside:
Did you know that 75% of all proceeds from the sale of this book gets put right back into Chance’s school? It’s true!
Once all production costs are covered, that money will be sent to the art department or reinvested in the next We Are All Different book in collaboration with the school — a great project to be part of for every student involved!
Thanks from Chance (shown here after he got his first look at the finished book!), Mrs. Gordon, and Chicken House Press for your support.
