2025 CLEL Bell Award shortlist
Play looks so many different ways: dancing, exploring nature, playing pretend, even time alone. Hearing aids, prosthetics, and adaptive tools are part of how everyone plays.

Why we made it
Play is how we learn.
Inclusive books often focus on explaining difference (like disabilities). We wanted children with many bodies and abilities to appear simply doing what children do: playing.
All kinds of play
Games, dancing, music, nature and pretend.
Every body plays
Kids with hearing aids and prosthetics are simply shown playing, learning, and having fun.
Keep playing and learning
Questions in the back keep the playing, talking, and learning going.
