Do you live with a disability? Or are you close to someone who does? . After all the research I did for KNIFE, I thought I knew a fair bit about mobility and accessibility issues. But when my father needed to use a walker and then a wheelchair, I learned so much more about the challenges that wheelchair and other mobility device users face on a regular basis. Sometimes I felt angry for my Dad’s sake, seeing how little thought is often given to the needs of people who can’t slip easily through narrow doorways or climb stairs. . Anyway, July is Disability Awareness Month, and I’ve got a post up at Go Teen Writers today about including disabled characters in our storytelling. So here’s a stack of books from my own library that feature protagonists with various kinds of disabilities. They’re all good, and many of them are personal favourites of mine. But we need a lot more! . . . #disabilityawareness #disabilityinclusion #disabilitypridemonth #disabledlivesmatter #loismcmasterbujold #thewarriorsapprentice #anneursu #therealboy #meganwhalenturner #thequeenofattolia #queensthief #francescoxstork #marcelointherealworld #elizabethewein #elizabethwein #thelionhunter #leighbardugo #sixofcrows #yalovin #yareads #ireadya #bookstagram #bookish #bookstack #bluebooks #bluebookstack #blueandcream https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwrpJjAV1X/?igshid=lv0jygyc7nzo
