Description
See below for English description.
Léane et Emma adorent bouger. Elles font du vélo, du patin à glace, dévalent des montagnes et plus encore, chacune à leur façon. Alors que Léane pédale sur son tricycle, Emma utilise ses mains pour faire avancer le sien. Pendant qu’Emma se promène sur la glace dans une luge, Léane l’accompagne avec ses patins. Jouez avec Léane et Emma, explorez leur monde et faites-vous de nouveaux amis!
Moi aussi, je peux! offre une visibilité bien nécessaire aux enfants qui utilisent des équipements spéciaux pour naviguer dans le monde. Cette histoire positive d’inclusion ravira les lecteurs de tous les niveaux tout en les invitant à en apprendre davantage sur les dispositifs d’aide.
Piper and Kayla love to move. They ride bikes, glide on ice, swoosh down mountains and much more — each in her own way. While Piper pedals her tricycle with her feet, Kayla uses her hands to move her trike forward. While Kayla coasts across the ice on a sled, Piper sails along on skates. Join Kayla and Piper as they play together, explore their world and make new friends.
Shining a much-needed spotlight on kids who use special gear to navigate the world, Moi aussi, je peux! will delight readers of all abilities with its affirming story of inclusion, while also inviting readers to learn more about adaptive devices in the back matter.

About the authors
Née à Thunder Bay, en Ontario, KAREN AUTIO a grandi dans la ville voisine de Nipigon, où elle a pu laisser libre cours à sa créativité et à son amour pour les chevaux. Vers l’âge de neuf ans, c’est sa passion pour le dessin qui l’a poussée à composer des histoires. Pour Karen, la magie de l’écriture opère lorsque les personnages prennent vie au point de tisser eux-mêmes l’intrigue! Lorsqu’elle n’est pas en train d’écrire, de réviser des textes ou d’expliquer à des étudiants le travail de recherche et l’inspiration sur lesquels reposent ses livres, Karen aime faire du canoë, photographier la nature, lire et voyager. Elle vit à Kelowna, en Colombie-Britannique.
KAREN AUTIO was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and grew up creative and horse-loving in nearby Nipigon. Around the age of nine she began writing stories just so that she could illustrate them. When she’s not writing, freelance editing, or speaking with students about the research and inspiration behind her books, Karen enjoys canoeing, photographing nature, reading, and travelling. Karen lives in Kelowna, British Columbia.
As a freelance illustrator working in Toronto, Laura Watson has been creating whimsical illustrations for children's books, educational materials, magazines and various retail applications since graduating from Sheridan College's Interpretive Illustration program, in Oakville, Ontario, in 1995. Born and raised in the heart of the lovely Kawartha Lakes region in Peterborough, Ontario, Laura also studied Fine Art at York University and graduated with an Honours degree in Visual Arts.
In the past few years, Laura has enjoyed illustrating four trade children's books (most recently, Peek-a-Little Boo, written by award-winning author and poet, Sheree Fitch, and published by Orca Books) and countless school publications for subjects as diverse as poetry and math. Laura lives in the east end of Toronto with her husband, and works in a converted backyard garage studio surrounded by a slightly unkempt garden and several fat raccoons. She enjoys the outdoors, runs often and from time to time loads camping gear onto the back of her bicycle and heads off on vacation.
