Join Nancy Trush for the next episode of Nancy’s Book Corner, as she reads "A Very Special Critter", written and illustrated by Gina and Mercer Mayer. In this story, we spend some time with Little Critter and his classmate, Alex, a wheelchair user on his first day in a new school. See how Alex and his new classmates move through a mix of emotions like uncertainty, curiosity, acceptance, and belonging.
Nancy’s Book Corner, led by our very own Nancy Trush, an early childhood educator (and Daniel’s mom), is a read-aloud series of children’s books that introduce disabilities and celebrates differences. Designed with children in mind but with a universal message for all, Nancy brings viewers along on a fun, educational, and thought-provoking journey using books from a variety of authors to help everyone see the ability in disability.

B) Virtual Live Events are a way to keep everyone connected through music, regardless of where they are or what’s happening in the world.
