Bradley's Big Question: What to Say When Your Child Notices Someone Different -- Chanelle L. Wimbish, Paperback
Every parent knows that moment. Your child sees someone who moves differently; and the question comes. You freeze. You're not a bad parent. Nobody ever gave you the words.
Bradley's Big Question is a gentle, rhyming story that shows kids what happens when they ask with kindness; and gives parents the confidence to let them. Written by Chanelle and Brennan Wimbish - a couple that lives these moments every day, from both sides. One partner uses a wheelchair. They've been the person being asked about and the parent standing next to the curious child. This isn't just another inclusion book that talks to your kid. It's the story that prepares you both - before the next time catches you off guard.
Written by a family that's been on both sides. One partner uses a wheelchair. They didn't research this topic - they live it.
Models the exact moment parents dread. Your child notices. They ask. You don't know what to say. This story shows how that moment ends in connection - not embarrassment.
Your child's curiosity isn't rude. It's the beginning of empathy. This book shows them that asking with kindness opens the door to friendship - and shows you how to let them.
A simple, rhyming read-aloud you can share in under 10 minutes. At bedtime, in the car, before the next trip to the playground, no prep needed.
Perfect for ages 3-7. Loved by parents, teachers, librarians, school counselors, and speech-language pathologists. Used in classrooms, storytime, and SEL curriculum.
