Four-year-old Ronen, who has Down syndrome,
demonstrates how inclusive preschool classrooms
benefit both children with special needs and
their peers.
In BOY IN THEWORLD, we learn what it really means
for a child to be included—the triumphs, the struggles,
and the positive effects on everyone involved, including
classmates, parents, teachers, and community.
“Bravo! Addresses critical elements of genuine, effective
inclusion.”

A professional snowboarder, a dirt-bike rider, and
a skateboarder share a love of risky sports—and

they will encourage kids to wear helmets and
avoid reckless risks. Narrated by Olympic gold
snowboarder Ross Rebagliati.
