July is Disability Pride Month which honors the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. This year’s theme is, “We Want a Life Like Yours.” Like children of color, children with disabilities (and especially those of color) have limited opportunities to see themselves reflected in the books they read. The selections this week explore the experiences of children with disabilities, offering an opportunity for children with disabilities to see themselves reflected in these books. For children without disabilities, the books will help them to gain understanding of people with disabilities and how to be respectful and inclusive of their peers.
