Teaching is the reason for this book.  So many children have disabilities, whether physical or emotional, and that makes them "different."  Different, as this book depicts, can translate into "spectacular" as our protagonist in her first book, Yes I Can, 

realizes his differences lead him, triumphantly, to a path of glory.
