It is also a great book for teachers to read to a class to help them understand what it means to be a little bit different and to help the understand and accept those differences.

Patron comment on
Adalyn's Clare is a book full of love and care. I like reading this book to my service users because: The font is readable, the pictures are lively e.g. a talking dog, a listening mouse and a singing parrot. The story is full of love and caring - an amazing book.
