In Our Room, We Learn with Will: Story of Friendship, Feelings, and Finding Ways to Say What Matters

In today’s schools, it’s increasingly common for students like Will, who experience the world differently, to join general education classrooms throughout the day. But for many children and adults, these moments can feel unfamiliar, even overwhelming. This gentle, age-appropriate book invites readers into a classroom where Will is welcomed with patience, curiosity, and care. Through everyday moments like greetings, lunchtime, sensory challenges, and play, Will’s classmates learn how to listen differently, respond with empathy, and build friendships rooted in understanding. In Our Room, We Learned with Will, is a powerful tool for families, educators, and counselors seeking to foster tolerance, emotional awareness, and inclusive thinking. It helps children see that communication doesn’t always sound the same and that every voice deserves to be heard.
