Seen is a heartfelt story about belonging, empathy, and truly seeing others for who they are. With beautiful illustrations by Ratu Megawangi and engaging text by C.M. Harris, the book gently reminds children and adults alike that every person deserves to be acknowledged and valued. For readers in the disabled community, Seen offers an empowering narrative that embraces differences without the need for explanation — affirming the message that we all deserve to be seen just as we are.
