Yoey Does It Her Way follows Yoey through her everyday joys. The playground. The swings. Swimming and frozen yogurt. Picture books and music. Bedtime moments. This picture book shows a child who learns at her own pace and keeps going. Her family cheers her on. The story ends with a clear message. Yoey is more than her challenges, and she is proud of who she is.

The writing is simple and direct. That works well here because the book is for young children. I liked how the focus stays on what Yoey loves instead of what she struggles with. It keeps the tone positive. I love how it treats learning differences as one small piece of a whole kid. That line stuck with me. It feels kind and true. The pride from her brother and parents were emotional moments that young readers will be able to see through the emotive images. The ending note for adults adds depth and meaning.

The illustrations on each page are bright and colorful and full of life. Yoey appears in many different scenes, like the playground, the beach, and bedtime, and each one feels cheerful and warm. I loved how her smile, focus, and excitement change from page to page and help tell the story without many words.

I would recommend this children’s book to families with young children. Especially families who want stories about inclusion and kindness. It would be great for classrooms and therapy spaces, too. It feels best for early readers and read-aloud time. This book celebrates kids being themselves.
