BOOK GIVEAWAY: The book giveaway for this week is over. You may choose to buy your copy below.  Beverly Lewis (author), Laura Nikiel (illustrator) Bethany House From A Press Release Book Description "Being the adoptive mother of disabled children," explains New York Times bestselling author Beverly Lewis, "I have wiped away their tears after frequent ridicule from peers threatened to destroy their self-esteem." Because of these life experiences with her children, Beverly saw a need for a book to address not only the ways in which special needs children are different, but also how they are just the same— and just as valuable—as everyone else. She wrote In Jesse’s Shoes to meet this need. Gently showing children how to accept and be kind to those who are different from them, this sensitive yet realistic story follows Jesse’s sister, Allie, as she struggles to understand and relate to her autistic brother—and to the kids who make fun of him. Beautifully illustrated and lovingly written, In Jesse’s Shoes will encourage families everywhere to appreciate and befriend children with special needs. About the Author: Beverly Lewis is a New York Times bestselling author of novels for adults, children, and teens. As a former teacher and adoptive mother of disabled children, she is uniquely gifted to instruct and encourage everyone to offer patience, gentleness, and yes, love to those who struggle with physical and developmental disabilities.
