★“A fantastic introduction for middle-grade students interested in learning more about the world of disabilities. This much needed resource belongs in all libraries”—Booklist, starred review

Meet twenty inspiring kids and adults living with disability today.

Stefan Daniel is a Paralympian who began competing when he was 16 and won Canada’s first paratriathlon medal in 2016. Zamaan Jivraj, aka The Granola Kid, launched an online granola company and doesn’t let his diagnosis of Down syndrome define him. Stella Bartlett is a teen singer and performer from CBC’s Ukulele U, where she was the only performer on the show with a disability.

From journalists to NASA scientists to TikTok stars and kidpreneurs, young readers will be introduced to people who were born with a disability and others who became disabled because of illness or an accident. All About Us explores the basic categories of disability: intellectual, sensory, physical and invisible. Readers will discover how every disability, whether it’s deafness, blindness or neurodiversity, has its own unique set of adaptations to help manage the tasks of daily life. No two blind people, intellectually challenged people or people who use wheelchairs are the same.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
