Description
Introduce your child to the Paralympics, where world-class athletes with physical disabilities showcase remarkable strength and determination. Lucas and Eddie, two friends who share similar challenges, visit the Games and cheer on visually impaired and physically disabled competitors as they compete in various sports. At the Paralympics, rules are in place to ensure fair play for all athletes. For example, blind runners wear blindfolds to level the playing field, while guides assist their sighted counterparts. Author Igor Plohl, who knows firsthand about physical disability after a spinal injury, shares his expertise and passion for raising awareness about this important topic. As a teacher and advocate, Igor Plohl has written a book that answers common questions children ask about the Paralympics and disability. This engaging story is perfect for parents, educators, or anyone looking to learn more about the Paralympic Games and their impact on our community.
