※書本內容介紹

1.公公改變了（Grandpa Has Changed）

公公改變了

當親人患上了阿茲海默症（Alzheimer's Disease），我們要學習如何處理我們的感受和生活的各樣適應呢？書中的兄妹很喜歡探望他們的公公，但是最近公公改變了，然而，他看起來又不像生病。究竟發生什麼事呢？原來公公患了阿茲海默症，這個病令他忘記怎樣做每日都要做的事情。起初，兄妹二人對公公的改變感到很擔心。後來，他們了解到覺得不開心是沒問題的，因為事情不再像以往。

"Live and Learn " is a series of sensitively-written picture storybooks that take a child's point of view--especially the view of those kids who need encouragement in the face of some emotional or physical difficulty. In this story, a little boy and his sister are sad and occasionally confused as they recognize that their beloved grandfather has changed. He often forgets things--and sometimes he even forgets where he is. Mom explains to the kids that Grandpa is suffering from Alzheimer's. Before long, the children discover that Grandpa loves them as much today as he always has, and that they can still enjoy happy times together. Following the story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to its theme plus a two-page section that offers advice to parents. This and other " Live and Learn " titles are also available in Spanish language editions under the series title " Vive y aprende.

2.我不能定定的坐下來（I Can’t Sit Still）

我不能定定坐下來

如果你能夠掌握正確的方法，就可以較輕鬆的去面對患過度活躍症的孩子。啟言是個不能定定的坐下來的男孩子。啟言無法控制自己的行為，因為他患上過度活躍症（又稱注意力不足過動症），令他不能想清楚才行動。這個病令啟言過份活躍，而且難於集中注意力，以致他不能打理好他的事情。有一天，啟言的爸媽帶他去見醫生，自此他的生活便漸漸得到改善。在醫生的幫助下，啟言學懂怎樣處理和控制這個病症。於是，生活中各樣事情都變得容易和有趣多了！

Titles in Barron's Live and Learn series are sensitively written picture storybooks that take a child's point of view--especially in regard to kids who need encouragement in the face of an emotional or a physical difficulty. Following each story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to its theme, followed by a two-page section that offers advice to parents. Live and Learn titles are also available in Spanish language editions under the series title Vive y aprende. Here is the story of a child who has ADHD--attention-deficit disorder--and is mistakenly perceived as being unruly and incapable of following instructions. Ultimately, this little boy overcomes this problem with help from the family doctor, his parents, and his teacher.

3.這叫做讀寫障礙症（It’s Called Dyslexia）

這叫作讀寫障礙症

「熟能生巧」是大家都明白的道理。對於患上讀寫障礙症的人來說，這句話更加真確。誰說學習閱讀和寫字是件容易的事？子恩覺得不開心，而且不想上學。學習閱讀時，她努力地嘗試記住字母的位置，但總是弄得一塌糊塗。當她發現自己患上讀寫障礙症後，她開始明白只要自己加倍練習，加上別人的一些幫助，她也可以學會閱讀和寫字。同時，她也發現了一項自己從來不知道的內在潛能呢！

This is one of several titles in Barron's Live and Learn series for younger children. They are books that take a child's point of view, especially if the child suffers from some physical challenge or lack self-confidence in going about everyday activities. These attractively illustrated picture storybooks encourage kids never to be afraid of a challenge. Following each story are four pages of suggested activities that relate to the book's theme. A final two-page section offers advice to parents. The child in this story knows the alphabet, but she sometimes has trouble putting all the letters together to read words. No matter how hard she tries, she often mixes up the letters or writes them backwards. She's unhappy until her teacher explains that she has dyslexia, and that she can be helped to read and write correctly.

4.這叫做失聰（It’s Called Deafness）

這叫說失聰

對失聰多一點認識，消除對失聰兒童的成見與誤解。美寶是個十歲的失聰女孩。在本書中，美寶讓我們了解失聰人士的生活，也向我們描述了幫助她學習和與別人溝通的方法和工具。美寶對這缺陷所持的開放態度和敏感度，讓我們對她的寧靜世界有更多的了解；而她對生命的熱誠，以及對別人的友好態度，也能啟迪我們對生命的看法。

Often, it seems that being a kid is a lot harder than being a grownup. But when you stop and think about it, you begin to see that being a kid really isnÂ’t so bad. We will grow up soon enough.

Meanwhile, being a kid can be great fun! We can climb trees with our friends and have an awesome time at the beach. Best of all, because we are only kids, we still have the freedom to have lots of fun doing silly things.

※結論

這是一系列關於有特殊需求的孩子以及生活學習的教育書籍，特殊需求書籍系列讓我們了解坐輪椅、失聰、讀寫障礙、過動兒的心路歷程，生活學習系列讓我們了解失智、輸贏不是重要、了解遵守規格（社會化）不是這麼困難、搬新家要面臨的冒險與恐懼歷程，比較可惜的是部分書籍尚未有翻成中文，但是有翻成中文的書籍在童書算是比較少見的題材，內容淺顯易懂算是很好讓孩童容易理解的內容，在繪圖分解圖的運用上也是很用心，讓讀者除了從文字還可以從插圖了解作者所要表達的訊息（失聰的孩童插圖有戴耳機），對於特殊需求的孩子也很適合與家長共讀分享的書籍，幫助他們更了解自己的問題及解決方案，中文書本的後面還有介紹一些活動和給家長的話，讓我們更了解書本作者所要表達的含義及建議（EX:失聰的書提供猜猜看，了解聽不見時的感受)，是一本我覺得很值得推薦給大家閱讀的書籍
