INCLUDED by Jayneen Sanders
PAPERBACK
Author: Jayneen Sanders
Illustrator: Camila Carrossine
Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and included - Meet Sam, Rishi, Jay, Audrey, Ty, and Zara; six wonderful kids who love stories, games, creativity, and laughter. Each one has unique strengths and challenges, and together they show that differences don’t divide us—they make the world brighter.
In INCLUDED, author Jayneen Sanders gently introduces young readers to the idea of diversity and disability in a way that celebrates empathy, understanding, and belonging. Through engaging stories and open-ended questions, children are encouraged to think about what inclusion really means, how to be kind and welcoming, and how every person contributes something special to the community.
With its vibrant illustrations and thoughtful discussion prompts, Included is not just a storybook - it’s a conversation starter. It helps children see that everyone, no matter their abilities, wants the same things: to play, to learn, and to be loved for who they are. Perfect for classrooms, families, and libraries, this empowering picture book celebrates diversity in all its forms and inspires a kinder, more inclusive world - one child at a time.
