The other penguins are interested in what kind of baby penguin will hatch from this polka-dotted egg! When Dottie the Polka-Dotted Penguin is born, she is a little smaller and a stands out a bit from the other baby penguins. Will the other penguins learn to accept her? Will Dottie be treated differently at school?</strong></p><p><br></p><p>This book is perfect for children and families of all abilities to discuss what makes people different, and how to behave. With loving text written by a mother of a child with Down Syndrome, debut author Amy Moy wanted to provide a story that could teach children the value of inclusion and celebrating differences. Her favorite animal is the penguin, and it's hard to find anything cuter than a baby penguin! Whether someone with special needs, a child who is learning about their peers, or new parents of a child with disabilities, this book will warm your heart. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Three cheers for The Polka-Dotted Penguin by Amy Moy! This wonderfully illustrated book tells the heartwarming story of Dottie the Polka-Dotted penguin who, though she is different from her friends, takes part in all the fun activities in and outside of school. In time, the other penguins realize that they have more in common with Dottie than they first realized. As an experienced elementary school teacher, this children's book would be my first choice to teach about inclusion and diversity in the classroom." </p><p>Christina Lee, Former Elementary School Teacher and Current Homeschool Teacher</em></p><p><br></p><p>"</em>The Polka-Dotted Penguin is the book that we all need to be reminded of the beauty of inclusion! Dottie the polka-dotted penguin loves books, music, and games just like all the other penguins, but she also has differences - best of which is her cute polka-dots that help her parents find her in a crowd. This is a beautiful love story for parents who are expecting or parenting a unique child, and a wonderfully illustrated book to share the beauty of differences and inclusion with young children. As a developmental scientist and former preschool teacher, I highly recommend The Polka-Dotted Penguin."</p><p>Dr. Sandra Soliday Hong, Developmental Scientist and Former Preschool Teacher</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
