July is Disability Pride Month. Here are some great books to learn more.

July is Disability Pride Month ~ a time to honor the diversity, strength, and brilliance of the disability community. And I’m honoring this month the best way I know how ~ by sharing all the stories that reflect and respect disabled experiences. These featured books uplift disabled voices, normalize accessibility, and remind all readers that everybody deserves to be seen, valued, and represented. Here’s to challenging ableism and curating inclusive shelves! ⭐️ You can also find my full collection of curated picture book lists featuring Disability Representation over on Substack ‼️ Comment DISABILITY for a shoppable link to this book list, including book descriptions, links to order, and more picture book lists ‼️
