Ava’s Left Hand

Description

In “Ava’s Left Hand”a little girl in kindergarten is learning to print but she finds that while every other child in the class is using their right hand, she uses her left hand. This book is beautifully illustrated and has a flowing, natural narrative that speaks to both children and adults. The teacher in the book is kind, supportive, and engaged as most teachers in Canada are! Ava’s thought processes are spoken aloud and she is a bright, engaging child who will resonate with children and parents alike. Ten percent of all people are left-handed and this story demonstrates the struggle that thousands of Canadians might deal with as they grow up. Ava’s Left Hand is a delightful story that promotes inclusiveness and open enquiry.
