Sofia La Golondrina
by Almudena Taboada
Age Range: 6-8
Sofía la golondrina was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research. The book is not available in English but is referred to as Sofia, the Swallow throughout the RtW Research. (Full report in the Education Zone of this website)
Sofia has not been able to see since she was born, but she has learned to do lots of things by herself, without help. OIW concluded that Sofia, the Swallow, with its lyrical text by Almudena Taboada and rich, colourful illustrations by Ana López Escrivá were appealing and conveyed a positive image of disability using sensory analogies to explain the world around Sofia.
Almudena Taboada has written a series 'Tales to Feel' featuring different disabilities which include La Tortuga Marian and Lola both included in the ‘Reading the Way’ research.
