NOELLA JUST WANTED TO WALK AND PLAY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AT SCHOOL, BUT BECAUSE OF A BIRTH DEFECT SHE HAD TO LEARN TO DO THINGS HER WAY.

As a former educator, I would encourage parents and teachers to add this book to their personal library. This book can be used as a teachable moment to discuss physical limitations in themselves, or how others do not need to define who they are or what they can do. This heartwarming story brings to life Noella's coming to terms with her own physical limitations, and in the process, she learns to understand that God loves and accepts her just as she is.
