Alja Dobi Zajcka Ang
by Brane Mozetic
Age Range: Under_5
Alja Dobi Zajcka Ang was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research (2015). The book is not available in English but is referred to as Alja Gets a Bunny throughout the RtW Research. (Full report in the Education Zone of this website)
OIW felt that Alja gets a Bunny should be commended for including a child with profound additional needs (Alja is unable to walk, cannot hear or see and cannot eat unaided). The way the school naturally includes Alja in all the activities is extremely positive. However, our research found that there were learning points to be drawn in terms of the need to show that children with complex needs should be treated as equals, as opposed to being seen as a novelty. The style of illustration perhaps reinforces the sense of 'detachment' and difference, with the disabled child appearing to be rather doll-like and overly passive.
