From the publisher

Come Over To My House is a delightful picture book that explores the home lives of children and parents who are Deaf or disabled. Co-written by disability advocate Eliza Hull and bestselling author Sally Rippin, the inclusive rhyming text authentically explores the characters’ various disabilities. A cast of friendly characters invite friends over for a play - there’s fun to be had, food to eat and families to meet! Come over to my house. Come over and play! I’ll show you around, you can stay the whole day. We’ll swing on the swing-set and splash in the pool. Then I’ll race you inside where my bedroom is cool. Featuring a gorgeous die-cut cover, bright illustrations and a diverse cast, this is a must-read for all families. - The perfect book to start a conversation about disability and inclusion with parents, care-givers and children. - Inclusive text normalizes rather than emphasizes the characters’ various disabilities. Disabilities are often only shown in the illustrations, not spelt out in the text. This allows the characters’ personality to shine brighter than their difference. - The bouncy rhyming text is a joy to read out loud. - Sally Rippin’s books have sold over 10m copies globally (across Australia, New Zealand and the US). - The story falls under three Bright Light pillars: bodies, diversity and character.
