PRODUCTABILITIES

Support Easter Seals through your purchases!

At Easter Seals, we believe that individuals have the power to help affect positive change in the world through the choices and purchases we make. And we have incredible partners who agree with this, and seek to contribute positively and responsibly to the health and well-being of our communities. Hence, ProductAbilities was developed to provide Canadians with another way to support Easter Seals, simply by purchasing a product or experience from an Easter Seals ProductAbilities Partner. These partners will then in turn donate a portion or proceeds of the sales to Easter Seals to help fund programs and services in support of Canadians living with disabilities/diverse abilities.

“A New Way to Play” by Candice O’Sullivan

Image of a bookcover featuring a colourful line drawing of a young girl with dark complexiou wearing a straw hat, blue shirt, red-striped scarf, pink skirt, blue pants, seated in a purple wheelchair. The title of the book is in large bold yellow print.

Canadian author, Candice O’Sullivan, has generously offered to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of 500 copies of her new children’s picture book, A New Way to Play,’ to Easter Seals, in support of programs and services for persons and families living with disability.

A New Way to Play is a wonderful story of 3 young friends: Emily, Anthony, and Sarah, who get together for a playdate. They first decide to play hide-and-seek, but Emily is soon frustrated that her wheelchair gives away her hiding place easily. So the friends decide to play another game that they can all take part in equally. The book skillfully addresses disability, diversity, accessibility and inclusion in a way that young children can easily understand. To learn more about the book and Candice’s inspiration for it, click here to read our interview with her.
