“Unique from the start, an unusual girl, she loved spinning in circles and watching things twirl.”

This book is very child friendly and covers topics that may be hard to talk in the classroom about like disabilities. I think this book can be used to start that conversation in the classroom.

What a wonderful, rhyme-driven narrative that looks at the life of Temple Grandin, in a very basic form. The narrative highlights aspects of her childhood and her accomplishments, with a section at the end that provides a bit more information about her accomplishments and a more in-depth bio. The illustrations are colorful and work well with the narrative. #BBRC #PictureBook #LetterG

“But she never gave up, learned her stuff through and through”

She was “DIFFERENT, NOT LESS,” they all finally agreed.

I think it is important to have books that highlight different disabilities, and especially ones that are positive and encouraging. This book is certainly that. It also exposes children to more scientists that they may not have known about .

This story is about a scientist, Temple Grandin, who has autism. Through rhyming and expressive illustrations, it tells the story of how she became a scientist working to create more humane farms. It highlights some different characteristics of people with autism, and how they don‘t have to hold someone back from doing big things.

This was awesome to read, it teaches kids in a kid friendly way how anyone can do anything and it is very inspirational

Keep learning, especially from your mistakes.

I like how this book highlights the accomplishments of a woman in science and how she proved people wrong that she could not be much because of her autism.

Excellent biography about the esteemed Dr. Temple Grandin. The biography goes through the life of Grandin starting in her early years when she was diagnosed with autism. The book goes into detail about how Grandin embraced her difference and showed people what she was capable of despite what they said about her. Truly inspiring.

This Biography is a great book for teachers to integrate in the science curriculum at the beginning of the year as a AS.

Strategies that pair well are:
UDL Principle 4.1: vary the methods for repsonse and navigation
UDL Principle 5.3: build fluencies with graduated levels of support for practice performance
ESOL Strategy 23: structure organizers consisting for new terminology that learners will encounter in the new lesson.

“And then, something COOL…Can you guess? Could it be? Off to COLLEGE she went! A degree? She earned THREE! And though ladies weren‘t experts on farms at that time, do you think that stopped Temple? NO WAY! She did fine.“

The illustrated rhyming tale, fun facts, a colorful timeline of events was the best part of the book along with the wonderful illustrations.

The beginning talks a lot about her life as a child on the spectrum. The perfect inspirational, empowering book to add to Genevieve‘s library. 💪🏻 #bookhaul
