The "It's Okay!" series of books depicts children with disabilities in a variety of school, family and community situations hoping to bridge the gap between them and their non-disabled peers. Families, teachers and people with disabilities are encouraged to purchase these books.

Dr. William M. (Bill) Bauer is a licensed clinical counselor in the rural Mid-Ohio Valley area who was a former classroom teacher, principal, and college professor. He has worked with children and adults with disabilities all of his life and hopes that this book brings an understanding to children with disabilities, their teachers, and their classmates. Dr. Bauer was born with a severe hearing impairment.
