ABOUT THE BOOK: Come along with the wacky but ever so wise Blue Tooth Sleuth as he introduces you to his colorful and creative friends. As Sleuth uncovers his friends' disabilities, he sends a positive and strong message to young readers that we ought to focus not on our differences but on our sameness. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Cheryl A. Steininger-Moore was inspired by her great niece to create a character different in appearance as a way to reach young readers for early acceptance of children with disabilities. Cheryl has the privilege of working with children of all ages, races, and abilities through a Guardian Ad Litem program in Minnesota. "Children are our teachers of tomorrow. If we can reach just one child with our message through Blue Tooth Sleuth, we may just reach generations." **** ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR: Holden Schafer is a thirteen-year-old boy who is excited about doing something he enjoys-drawing and creating with pen and paper-to send a message that we are all special in our own way, and we all need friends. All of the profits from this book support Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul, Minnesota.
