Of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, quality education and gender equality are objectives of high priority. Both are essential elements for building an advanced future society. From the aspect of quality education, the author analyzed the contents of 30 books about disability and gender written in Japanese or English and classified their contents into five factors on a graph: giving children findings, sharing and understanding the feelings of people with disabilities, providing them with the necessary information, showing them the right attitude, and accepting them as members of the society. The author also designed a model teaching program of 40 minutes that could be used in nursery and other elementary schools to teach students the abovementioned factors. The findings of this study have implications for the education of children aged 1–5 years and their early development of empathy and awareness about people with disabilities.
