I See You, Do You See Me? is a heartfelt and empowering children's book that invites readers of all ages and abilities to see the world through the eyes of Abby MacCurtain-a vibrant, non-verbal girl with Leigh's disease who navigates life in a wheelchair. Despite her medical complexities, Abby doesn't define herself by her limitations. With her signature smile and courageous spirit, she views herself as strong, capable, and filled with joy-and she hopes the world will see her the same way.

 

Told through gentle narrative and beautiful illustrations, this story promotes empathy, kindness, and inclusion by encouraging young readers to put on their "Abby Mac glasses"-a playful yet powerful metaphor for looking beyond first impressions and seeing the person within. Whether Abby is at school using assistive technology, at the ocean surrounded by family, or participating in a community race, her perspective reminds us all of the importance of compassion, friendship, and connection.

 

More than a story, I See You, Do You See Me? is a teaching tool, thoughtfully aligned with Massachusetts PreK-2 Curriculum Frameworks and national social-emotional learning standards. Educators and caregivers can use this book to explore topics such as self-awareness, empathy, goal-setting, physical wellness, and respectful communication. Through Abby's journey, children learn how to identify and celebrate their strengths, advocate for themselves and others, and contribute to an inclusive community.

 

Created by a passionate team of authors, Todd Civin, author of over 70 disability related books, Heidi MacCurtain, mother of Abby and educator Shannon Frazer, each who with lived experience in disability advocacy, special education, and inclusive storytelling, and brought to life by renowned illustrator Jason Boucher, this book is an invitation to bridge the gap between home, school, and community. It's a reminder that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and included-no matter how they communicate or move through the world.

 

Perfect for classroom libraries, school assemblies, family reading time, and community programming, I See You, Do You See Me? is a changemaker's story, told through the heart of a child whose voice shines brightest when we take the time to truly see her.
