When I began writing children’s books about individuals with disabilities, I had one simple goal: to help every child feel seen and valued. Too often, children with disabilities don’t see themselves reflected in stories—or if they do, their differences are treated as something to “overcome.”
These books aim to do something different. They celebrate each person’s unique abilities, humor, and humanity. When we share stories like these with kids, we plant seeds of understanding early on.
If we can help children see that everyone—regardless of ability—has worth and value, we can help grow a generation that leads with empathy.
