"Libraries looking to add to their inclusive nonfiction offerings will find this one a winner." KIRKUS review

In Claire Wants a Boxing Name a mother and daughter share their weekly boxing lesson. Taught by a woman who is differently sight-abled and has a guide dog, an amazing story unfolds. Dynamic photography captures the energy and intensity of the physical activities all three women complete at the inclusive Toronto Girls Boxing Club.

Boxing moves, bags, and gloves abound as the story reveals Claire's desire to be given a boxing name. It will represent what she has learned from boxing. She knows that her mom and other women have really cool boxing names like Slice n' Dice and Eraser.

Claire was born with a facial difference and through boxing has gained a new strength she hopes will shine through her new name. This story challenges the reader's perception of what a person with blindness is capable of doing and also provides an incentive to challenge oneself to discover personal strengths.

By sharing Claire's story we celebrate Vivian's many strengths and abilities. Vivian is differently sight-abled and has a guide dog.

"Physical fitness and sports and recreation are so important for children with disabilities. It's a topic of conversation for so many youth...what sport they play, what they do on weekends, etc... Love that the inclusion includes something her mother enjoys and that the coach is an accomplished woman with vision loss. Well written, as always by these authors!" -Lori A. Eigenman, ED.S

Each book in the Finding My World series can be read in any order, as each is one child's experience in finding inclusion and self-determination in the world around them.
