Historia
When boys act out, get into fights, or become physically aggressive, we can't avoid noticing their bad behavior. But it is easy to miss the subtle signs of aggression in girls: the dirty looks, the taunting notes, or the exclusion from the group, that send girls home crying.

Historia
Teen rebellion is seen as a cultural norm, but Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach begs to differ. In Why I Didn't Rebel - based on a viral blog post that has been read by more than 750,000 people - Lindenbach shows how rebellion is neither unavoidable nor completely understood. Based on interviews with her peers and combining the latest research in psychology and social science with stories from her own life, she gives parents a new paradigm for raising kids who don't go off the rails.

Historia
Author and photographer Susan Kuklin met and interviewed six transgender or gender-neutral young adults and used her considerable skills to represent them thoughtfully and respectfully before, during, and after their personal acknowledgment of gender preference. Each honest discussion and disclosure, whether joyful or heartbreaking, is completely different from the other because of family dynamics, living situations, gender, and the transition these teens make in recognition of their true selves.

Well, eight years after that dreadful diagnosis, I am writing this book to let every father know that your plans for you and your son can still be a reality. It's just the path that takes you there that has to be altered."

In this dazzling debut, Carla Shalaby, a former elementary school teacher, explores the everyday lives of four young "troublemakers", challenging the ways we identify and understand so-called problem children. Time and again, we make seemingly endless efforts to moderate, punish, and even medicate our children, when we should instead be concerned with transforming the very nature of our institutions, systems, and structures, large and small.

Shyima Hall was born in Egypt on September 29, 1989, the seventh child of desperately poor parents. When she was eight, her parents sold her into slavery. Shyima then moved two hours away to Egypt's capitol city of Cairo to live with a wealthy family and serve them eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. When she was ten, her captors moved to Orange County, California, and smuggled Shyima with them. Two years later, an anonymous call from a neighbor brought about the end of Shyima's servitude - but her journey to true freedom was far from over.

School discipline is broken. Too often, the kids who need our help the most are viewed as disrespectful, out of control, and beyond help, and are often the recipients of our most ineffective, most punitive interventions. These students - and their parents, teachers, and administrators - are frustrated and desperate for answers. Dr. Ross W. Greene, author of the acclaimed book The Explosive Child, offers educators and parents a different framework for understanding challenging behavior.

Loved it👌
A great way to make understanding easy for young children.
I requested this book in exchange for my honest review to share with my 6 year old granddaughter Bella.
My neighbor has a daughter around the same age with Asperger's.
The two girls hit it off instantly and now they are inseparable.
Bella does get confused about her friend's behavior sometimes.
This book is right on her level.
With a better understanding of what her friend is going through, Bella's happy ☺
I highly recommend this book for teachers K - 2nd grade because of the short length its perfect to share in class.

Good Story
What was one of the most memorable moments of Someone You Might Know?
I can't pick a memorable moment just a good overall story
Did Rebecca Maria do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Just one character but her pronunciations one some stuff was not correct and it was something that stuck with me throughout the story. Example (preface was pronounced Pre Face)
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Nothing moving just a nice story to remind everyone how nice everyone should treat each other no matter how different they are. Also just because someone doesn't appear to be affected you never know what they do when they are by themselves.
Any additional comments?

Cute story
Any additional comments?
This is a cute story describing a fictitious girl with some sort of autism spectrum disorder. It's a brief rundown of the important parts of understanding people, especially peers, with such disorders: what feels off about them, how that others treat them, how this treatment makes them feel, and how they should be understood and treated. This understanding lays the foundation upon which the important conclusion is built: the need for empathy and inclusion.
The narration is nice and bright. The chipper tone keeps this topic appropriately positive instead of grim. She needs to work on pronunciation in places though -- Preface and Amadeus were mispronounced which is distracting.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Short encouragement to have understanding and be kind.
Charming little illustration that might encourage a young person to be more understanding and patient with his or her peers who exhibit behaviors that may class them on the spectrum somewhere. You wouldn't even necessarily have to believe that all that is called autism today is actually a real diagnosis of anything for this book to engender understanding and kindness to those different from you.
I enjoyed the narrator and the descriptions. A fun little audiobooks that I wish I would have been willing to heed when I was a youth.

A sweet story about being different
Everyone feels different sometimes, even those of us who are supposedly not different. Author Claudia Retif Barrett's main point near the end of the story was that we all feel a little different from time to time and that's no reason to be rejected or to reject someone else.
The story helps the listener find compassion for someone (as Billy Joel said in the song Only the Good Die Young) who might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one.
I enjoyed this book a lot. And for those who criticized the narrator -- did they really miss the entire point of the book? Wasn't it clear that the narrator was saying some of the words DIFFERENTLY? Sheesh, talk about needing to hit you on the head with a brick. The very first word of the book, Preface which should have been pronounced /prefəs/ was pronounced pre-face as in /pri/fās/ and I thought, how funny that she said that word so DIFFERENTLY. And later I reflected that the book is about being different.
An amazing book for kids and adults alike. Worth a listen for kids who may be prone to bullying or who just might be afraid to be friends with the kid who talks too loud, or even the redhead or Asian child because they are different. Don't let your kid be that kid who is a jerk to the different kid. Play them this great book.

For very young
This would be a good listen for very young children. The simple wording, and lack of many details tailors this book for that group.
While narration was clearly spoken, it was a bit slow, and I cringed to hear several mispronunciations.
Overall, this is educational, and helpful for children to hear. Empathy is an important trait to develop.

Great audiobook for kids
I enjoyed this short audiobook as it is a gentle reminder to us not to judge the book by its cover. It is a very easy book to listen to which makes this book a great gift to young children. I can see this book in any kindergarten or elementary school as an aid for teaching acceptance and understanding of one another. I also think that a parent of a "different" child should get tons of copies of this audiobook and gift it to children around her child. Thank you, Claudia Barrett for bringing people closer together!

informational
I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This was a short book about understanding people who are on the spectrum disorder. It was good, but it became less about understanding and more instructions on helping. Using the figure of Mary, we are told to become friends with her because she might become famous. While this is qualified that Mary might not become famous, it feels really weird that I'm being told to become friends with somebody because they might become famous. That isn't the foundation of a stable friendship because you're just going to want something from them.
It also felt quite uniform; due to the short length (only eleven or twelve minutes) it feels like the author places people who have autism, ADHD, Aspergers, ADD, PDD (which I have never heard of before) into one category and then says make friends with them because they struggle. In real life, it's just not that simple.
