Recognition
This is precisely the book I dreamed of growing up as a young girl with a disability. It shows what is possible to achieve and acknowledges the very real hard points, while fostering and supporting healthy, positive disability identity development.
Dr. Anjali Forber-Pratt, Paralympian and disability activist
