What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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
“This sweet, welcoming story is paired with informative back matter about the book’s subjects and its author.” –School Library Journal
“I thought it was a great look into how different people and different families function, normalising disability and access needs.” –Tessa, Children and Young People With Disability Australia
“A gorgeous book all about families where one or more of the family members has a disability. One of the most inclusive picture books I’ve ever seen and a lovely story to boot. Highly recommend!” –StoryGraph
