A cute story of non-discrimination for 2nd, 3rd, or 4th graders. Readers of 8-10 years old will find many fun scenes that explore what it might be like to walk on one's hands, while using one's feet and toes to write, pick up books, 'high-five', and climb. They crack their toes instead of their fingers and the teachers' glasses sit on the wrong side of their ears. Lonesome Sam walks right-side up and cannot stand on his hands. His teachers and classmates treat him as 'disabled' and are reluctant to change their rules until they come to realize during a school emergency that Sam has abilities that the others lack. The Handwalkers provides a fun way for young readers to start thinking about the difficulties kids with physical differences encounter and learn non-discrimination in an entertaining way. They learn that the biggest difficulty the 'differently-abled' face is the attitudes of others.
