Pool Pals

Join Maya and her friend Jax as they play in the pool. Follow along as Maya explains how the water helps her move without her leg braces and arm crutches and helps Jax feel more comfortable playing in the water. With a focus on social and emotional learning (SEL), tightly controlled vocabulary, and bright, fun illustrations to match the storyline and enhance empathy, children will learn about inclusion in a supportive educational fiction reading experience. Children can learn more about leg braces using Fact Surfer, our safe online search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. This book also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a glossary, an index, and a table of contents. Grasshopper Books offers simple, fun fiction for emerging readers. Pool Pals is part of Jump!'s Celebrating All Friends series.
