Amazingly…Alphie!
Understanding and Accepting Different Ways of Being
In this brightly illustrated book, readers are introduced to
Alphie, a computer that is "wired differently" and therefore has trouble fitting
in and performing successfully. After beginning to doubt his self-worth and his
ability to do anything right, Alphie finally meets a human, Chris, who has been
hired to fix the malfunctioning computers in the lab. Chris' patient and
accepting approach totally changes Alphie's life. Instead of feeling
incompatible and useless, Alphie starts to realize that being different is what
makes him special, and soon he is free to use his abilities to their fullest
-free to be who he was meant to be. This book, written for children ages 8 and
up, fosters tolerance and acceptance while celebrating differences. It is a
perfect addition to any family and school reading.
