About the Author

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. 

“I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Bauer in the professional education and mental health fields
for over two decades, and this book series is his latest outstanding work to help young people
understand and accept differences.  Each title focuses on a uniqueness and assures us that “it is OKAY!”
– Dr. Stephanie Starcher, Public School Superintendent 

“Being different is OK! Every effort to erase stigma surrounding our differences is important. The earlier
we start, the better chance we have at preventing stigma from even occurring. I had the honor of meeting
Dr. Bill Bauer when I was in college, and it is no surprise his work as a mental health advocate would
transpire into this series of books. I’m thankful for his commitment to celebrating our differences.” 
– Nick Gehlfuss, MFA, Actor, film and television. Currently, Dr. Halstead, Chicago Med. 

“This book series by Dr. William Bauer – my good friend Bill – fills a niche in children’s literature that embraces
diversity and self-esteem. This series is not only important, but extremely fun. As founder of Orphans International,
I look forward to reading these stories to children of all faiths and abilities around the world. This book is
indeed a living testament to Bill’s own son. The world is a better place because of Bill Bauer! #GrantSpeed”
– Jim Luce, Founder, Orphans International Worldwide
