Meet ClaraBelle Blue
by Adiba Nelson

2016 ROYAL DRAGONFLY WINNER - HONORABLE MENTION: CHILDREN’S BOOK/SPECIAL NEEDS

Meet ClaraBelle Blue is the debut children’s picture book by Adiba Nelson, and the first book of The ClaraBelle Series. Loosely based on Nelson’s own daughter, Meet ClaraBelle Blue is told through the voice of ClaraBelle’s mom, Viola. In this funny, sweet, beautifully illustrated book we get to see how like the other kids ClaraBelle truly is, regardless of having special needs. Children reading it will come to find that what ClaraBelle’s mom says in the book is true - “she’s ClaraBelle Blue, and she’s just like YOU!”
