      This book focuses on:
      -characters that kids can identify with
      -adapting team play to meet player's needs
      -making team play fun
      -the idea that team play can be for everyone

      The end of the book includes ideas for adults who want to make sure their team/program is inclusive and fun for all kids.
      We Can Play! is a book inspired and commissioned by Can Play, a non-profit organization who runs inclusive programs for all kids.

      Help your child see that everyone can play, and everyone can be a part of the team!
