An interesting realistic fiction book is called What's Wrong with Timmy? This story is about a little girl named Kate who inquires about a little boy she sees in the park named Timmy who has a disability. With the help of her mother, she learns to understand the reasons why Timmy is so special and how even though he is different he has the same needs as any other human being. The lessons that can be used with this story are in Literature (friendship), Literature (Sequencing events, retelling the story in order that they think it happened), and Science (having children learn about genes and how they determine one's disabilities).
