"I have been waiting for years for a book like Come Over to My House. Come Over to My House is an excellent way to start conversations with children about how people with disabilities might do things differently, and I love Eliza Hull and Sally Rippin for taking the onus off kids living with disabilities to have to conduct that conversation over and over. Highly recommended for all children ages 3+." –Readings
