Special Kids, Oct 5 2007
By Janet Ann Collins "Writer and Speaker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Jesse's Shoes: Appreciating Kids with Special Needs (Hardcover)
I've worked with lots of children who have special needs and read many books intended to help other kids understand them, but this is definitely one of the best. Told from the point of view of Jesse's sister, it has a real story line and isn't at all preachy-teachy.

It is a children's book, but many adults could benefit from reading it also., Dec 30 2007
By Lori Kasbeer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Jesse's Shoes: Appreciating Kids with Special Needs (Hardcover)
In Jesse's Shoes is a story told from the perspective of the older sister, Allie. Allie loves her brother Jesse very much, but struggles with having a brother that is just "wired differently," as her parents told her. She has the responsibility of walking her brother to his school bus each morning. Jesse did not always cooperate and easily got sidetracked. Allie saw other kids snickering and laughing at the way her brother Jesse acted.Allie loved her brother but just wanted him to be more "normal" around her friends. One day after school she blurted out to her Dad that she just did not understand Jesse, and her Dad responded by saying, "Of course you don't understand him, you have not walked in his shoes."
The next day when Allie met Jesse after school, Jesse bent down took his shoes off and told Allie to walk in his shoes. That is exactly what Allie did, all the way home.
Having the chance to view things as Jesse did, Allie found the courage to stick up for her brother to her friends.
I highly recommend this book. It is a children's book, but many adults could benefit from reading it also. In fact after I received it in the mail, my 13-year-old plopped on the couch and read the book all the way through. I asked him what he thought of the book, and he said, "Mom, this is the best book I have read in awhile."
The illustrations are beautiful and the book will leave a lump in your throat. Sometimes we just don't understand until we walk in another person's shoes.

Religious content of In Jesse's Shoes, Oct 8 2011
By Maria38 - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Jesse's Shoes: Appreciating Kids with Special Needs (Hardcover)
This is a lovely book but not to be read in a multicultural, non-denominational classroom without editing. There are several references to God being responsible for Jesse's differences, choosing his sister wisely, etc. Had I known about the religious content in advance, I would not have ordered the book as I was shopping specifically for classroom resources. This important information should be included in the product description.
