Matteo Wants to See What's Next

"A beautiful book which has the potential to touch, inspire, and educate everyone." - MS, Verified Purchaser





In Matteo Wants to See What's Next, two boys spend the day with an adult friend with disabilities and explore the Royal Ontario Museum. Beautiful photography gives voice to a young boy's anticipation as it illustrates how speech is not the only way we communicate.





Matteo and Cristian love to spend the day with their friend Rebecca. Today, Rebecca has a surprise for them. Matteo can't wait to see it! He's on the move as they explore the museum, and the book shows all the ways Rebecca uses eye gaze to direct their inclusive visit to a museum.





Together, they examine the Biodiversity area, where they touch an owl and visit a bat cave, visit China, and explore the dinosaurs. This exploration will entice children to visit their own museums in a new way and will show them ways to understand new types of communication. They will feel comfortable as they interact with the differently-abled.





By sharing Matteo's story, we celebrate Rebecca's many strengths and abilities. Rebecca has cerebral palsy.
