But I Don't Wanna Go To School

Caidon doesn’t want to go to school—and it’s not because he doesn’t like learning. School feels overwhelming when it isn’t designed with his low vision needs in mind. The classrooms are too dark, the books are hard to see, and even the rugs and toys make it difficult for him to move around safely.

With the gentle support of his loving mother, Caidon discovers that being brave doesn’t always mean venturing into new lands—it can mean speaking up for what you need. Together, they find solutions, from practicing self-calming strategies to asking teachers for brighter labels, headphones, and small changes that make a big difference.

Written by educator and advocate NK Navarro and her son Caidon Moya, I Don’t Want to Go to School! is the first book in the I Don’t Wanna series—a collection that empowers children with low vision, and all children, to embrace their voices, ask for help, and thrive in spaces not always built with their needs in mind.
