Woodpecker Girl
Chingyen Liu, I-Tsun Chiang
Based on an actual story, this book portrays a girl with cerebral palsy who cannot communicate easily and feels trapped in her body. Her anger makes her grunt, frightening other children and making friendship difficult. An art teacher attaches a paintbrush to her head, leading other children to call her Woodpecker Girl. She begins painting her thoughts and feelings, and original art by the child who inspired the story appears alongside the illustrations.
