There is a need in this world of children’s books for a different kind of lesson. When conducting interviews, there was a need for a children’s book that would teach about those living with developmental disabilities. It is viewed as needed as it became apparent during these interviews that this was something many people do not know or understand. One person went so far as to say he felt “ignorant” on the subject itself. That was when it was realized that this is an important subject to talk about and to make more apparent in the children book genre. When comparing the competitor book series with the “Understanding Bixy” children’s book series, it is easy to see the differences. “Understanding Bixy” zeroes in on a specific topic while having a fun story to go with it. The other book series talks about other life lessons first. The “Understanding Bixy” children’s book series explains other life lessons through the lens of someone living with developmental disabilities which is a far different kind of book to its competitors. This book series shows the young readers some of the things that these people would do and also some experiences when encountering certain situations and people. Developmental disabilities affect every one in six children. They affect over six million people in the United States alone. This is something so common yet not talked about enough. While it is apparent that there are so many children’s books that help to teach many life lessons to young readers, there really are not any that tackle this topic. With a book series like “Understanding Bixy,” there are so many opportunities to introduce young readers to real people that live with developmental disabilities while also giving those with developmental disabilities a character to look up to and someone they can see themselves in. It is really important in this world for everyone to just treat each other with kindness. The first step for this is to just be aware of our differences and not to judge those differences which is how “Understanding Bixy” children’s book series can help the world in the right direction.
