SUMMER READING StORIES THAT REPRESENT
Summer reading is often filled with adventure, imagination, and memorable characters. It can also be a powerful opportunity to help children grow in empathy, understanding, and awareness of the world around them.
This summer, we are sharing some of our favorite children’s books that include disability representation and diverse experiences. From stories that celebrate differences to books that help answer big questions with kindness and confidence, these are some of the titles we love adding to summer reading stacks.
